Description
Grief has settled into Hart House since the twins’ mother, Pippa, died unexpectedly—leaving Alfie to raise two children who are trying to survive their loss in the only ways they can. When the girls insist there’s a shadowy “friend” in their bedroom, Alfie initially treats it as a nightmare, until the presence grows stranger and more demanding, as if it’s learning how to get what it wants. As Alfie turns to Julia, Pippa’s sister and a psychiatrist, the investigation blurs the line between trauma, imagination, and something far more dangerous—while Alfie’s own visions and secrets begin to surface. With a tense, emotionally charged horror voice, this debut explores the themes of bereavement, psychological manipulation, and the terrifying possibility that the past never stays buried. Prepare for a relentless, reality-bending descent where every attempt to protect the family may be the very thing that invites catastrophe.
