Description
In the spring of 1954, Anthony Marshton and Margaret Palmer are eager to escape the bustle of London for a peaceful retreat at Wuthering Winds, a secluded manor in Sussex belonging to Anthony's widowed aunt. They envision country walks, tennis matches and elegant dinners. But upon arrival, they find they're not the only guests. Joining them are an overbearing insurance salesman and a sleek spiritualist medium, hired to summon the dead.
As a fierce storm brews, the medium declares the weather perfect for her ritual. The once-idyllic Wuthering Winds is plunged into a night of terror as sinister forces are awakened. Shadows from the past begin to stir, and the boundaries between the living and the dead blur. With fear gripping the house, questions arise: Can a soul truly be brought back from the beyond? And is everyone at Wuthering Winds really who they claim to be?
Secrets, lies, and the supernatural collide in this chilling, vintage horror tale that will leave no one untouched.
