Description
A super-readable and accessible middle grade horror novel.
When Harry and his mother inherit a house from a mysterious relative of his late father, they travel across the country to discover the inheritance is a cruel trick: the house has fallen into the sea. But there's even more going on at Wickford Hall than they could have imagined.
Harry becomes preoccupied by the locals' tales of lost children and evil paintings. Is there something sinister lurking in the land? And can Harry defeat it before it consumes him, too?
