Psychological Thrillers

Celebrated children’s author and illustrator Annie Blunt has had a dreadful year. Her husband was killed in a tragic accident, then one of her children’s books ignited a major scandal. Desperate for a fresh start, she moves with her young son Charlie to a charming small town in upstate New York where they can begin to heal.

But Annie’s year is about to get worse. Bored and lonely in their isolated new surroundings, Charlie is thrilled when he finds a forgotten train set in a locked shed in the grounds of their new house. While Annie is pleased to see Charlie happy, there’s something unsettling about his new toy.

Strange sounds wake Annie in the night – she’s sure she can hear a train in the middle of the night, although there isn’t an active line for miles. And then bizarre things start happening in the neighbourhood. But even stranger, Annie can’t seem to stop drawing a disturbing new character that has no place in a children’s book… Grief plays tricks on the mind, but Annie is beginning to think she’s walked out of one nightmare straight into another, only this one is far more terrifying…

Nya can’t remember the last time she felt safe.

The rundown rental house wasn't so bad until the incidents began. Stolen food. A rattling doorknob.

Her belongings, rifled through. And there’s only one possible culprit: her peculiar roommate, Sidney. Nya can’t afford to move.

She just needs to survive her final semester, then she’ll be free. But to her horror, the sinister mind games are just the beginning. As the situation spirals, Nya learns a truth more terrifying than she ever imagined.

Surviving the night may no longer be an option.

Anna wants a fresh start after three long years behind bars. Lucy craves the attention of the only man she can't have, her alluring Oxford professor. Marie has spent too long as a recluse living by someone else's rules.

When three strangers stumble upon an elaborate web of lies and the dead body at the heart of it, they will discover the true price of getting the life they desire so badly. But will it be too late?
