The Crows – Pagham-on-Sea Book 1

Fate is Inexorable

When broken-hearted Carrie Rickard falls in love with a ruined house, her life changes forever – especially since this house loves her back. Fairwood House, known locally as The Crows, is no ordinary ruin. As Carrie pours herself into its restoration, she learns that it comes with a curse and an unsolved sixty-year-old child murder… and a mind of its own.

As she digs into the secrets of The Crows, Carrie is dragged into a world of witchcraft, blood magic and the supernatural, aided by her eldritch soothsayer neighbour, Ricky Porter, who’s as obsessed with the house as she is.

Ricky, desperate to become the master of Fairwood and of the arcane artefact it guards, sees Carrie’s future is set in stone – and so is her death-date. But is his offer of help sincere, or is he the reason she’s doomed?

a marvellous contemporary horror story which bustles with lively, horrific characters doing terrible, fascinating things

Amazon review

There are books you can slip into like a blood-warm bath, stories you can luxuriate in, and The Crows is one of them.

Deepens from off-kilter to genuinely sinister to fairly seriously f’dup – I loved it
