Book excerpt: From a New York Times–bestselling author, “a superbly creepy modern horror story” about a family who discovers their home is inhabited by an evil spirit(Sunday Mirror). Ollie and Caro Harcourt are moving into a new house with their twelve-year-old daughter Jade. Ollie is desperate to leave the city. Caro is less sure. Then they view Cold Hill House, a dilapidated rural mansion, and fall instantly in love. It’s expensive, but with its space, seclusion and huge grounds it seems like a brilliant idea. That is, until they arrive. It soon becomes apparent that they are not alone. A spectral woman appears on screens and walks the corridors, vanishing before she can be challenged. Strange occurrences become ever more common. Then Caro starts seeing faces, always looking out of the same upstairs window. The room behind it could hold the key to the disturbing secret behind the house’s mysterious past. Except for the fact that the room doesn’t seem to exist . . . “James is a compelling storyteller and he ratchets up the tension in increments, so that his readers will be suitably terrified. By the time you want to scream ‘Look behind you!’, it’s already too late.” —Daily Mail “Impeccable.” —The Sunday Times “James neatly interlaces the traditional . . . with the modern . . . never losing the essential heart of the horror as it derails the lives of its victims.” —Publishers Weekly
