Excerpt from the book

Here's a little excerpt from the book for you to enjoy: He squeezes in beside her and Naomi floors the gas pedal. Isla looks down at her arms to see bite marks and several deep scratches across her skin. Glancing across to Aaron she sees that he is far worse off than she is. His eye is puffy and swollen and deep scratches cover his face. She can see blood seeping through his sweatpants, “We need to return to Issac’s. Mr McCarthy can help” Isla says.  Aaron follows her gaze. “It’s nothing. We need to get to the Miller house” he says. “And what about the invisible travellers that only you two can see? How do we deal with them?” Naomi questions. “They will follow” Aaron says. “Are you out of your fucking mind?

Why I wrote this book

All through my childhood I always had a passion for the paranormal. Ghost stories and horror films were a favourite of mine, the scarier, the better. Nightmare on elm street is my all time favourite horror film and a partial inspiration when it came to writing this book, though it definitely doesn't feature a sadistic murderer adorning a glove armed with razors.

There isn't much to do in a small town except exercise it's ghosts, and there is only one location to do that. Isla and her friends, desperate for some excitement, head out to the old abandoned house where a previous classmate had taken their own life. They weren't expecting much more than a few exchanged ghost stories, and they certainly weren't prepared fro another friend's brutal demise or the unleashing of generations of secrets and lies onto unsuspecting villag ers. Having recently returned to Prymoor after the tragic loss of her parents, Isla intends to finish her studies and abandon the sleepy village for good, but she and her friends find themselves struggling to survive the night. In a bid to right a wrong that was committed centuries ago they have to fight against people they've known since birth and battle with unseen forces pushing them even closer to exhaustion but they can't give in to it, death is waiting to greet them in their drea...
