Descriere

In 1891, Edinburgh’s Henderson Close is a seething mass of humanity, poverty, crime and degradation. Even murder. Miss Carmichael is a middle-aged spinster, living in the prosperous New Town. She regularly takes food, money and clothing to families living in the Closes, deep within the slums of the Old Town. In the present day, Henderson Close, having been buried under the foundations of newer buildings a century earlier, is a major tourist attraction. Tour guides, such as Hannah, lead their visitors along its eerie twists and turns. But when renovations begin in order to extend the location, the Auld De’il is released from its devil’s trap. The ghost stories told by the tour guides begin to take on a sinister reality. FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing. Launching in 2018 the list brings together brilliant new authors and the more established; the award winners, and exciting, original voices.

Notă biografică

Cat first started writing when someone thrust a pencil into her hand. Unfortunately as she could neither read nor write properly at the time, none of her stories actually made much sense. However as she grew up, they gradually began to take form and, at the tender age of nine or ten, she sold her dolls’ house, and various other toys to buy her first typewriter – an Empire Smith Corona. She hasn’t stopped bashing away at the keys ever since, although her keyboard of choice now belongs to her laptop.

The need to earn a living led to a varied career in sales, advertising and career guidance but Cat is now the full-time author of a number of paranormal, ghostly and Gothic horror novels and novellas, including Waking the Ancients, Wrath of the Ancients, The Devil’s Serenade, Dark Avenging Angel, The Pendle Curse, Saving Grace Devine and Linden Manor. The Haunting of Henderson Close is her first novel for Flame Tree Press.

She lives with her longsuffering husband and black cat (who remembers that her species used to be worshipped in ancient Egypt and sees no reason why that practice should not continue). They divide their time between Liverpool and a 260 year old haunted apartment in North Wales.

When not slaving over a hot computer, Cat enjoys rambling around stately homes, circles of standing stones and travelling to favourite haunts such as Vienna and Orkney.

Recenzii

"This is a ridiculously fun read, with just enough creeps and chills to keep the reader’s pulse up. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of Henderson Close, and this book has easily put Catherine Cavendish on my list of authors to explore."
"Cavendish sets the scene exceptionally well and the book is atmospheric and spooky throughout."
"I wasn’t entirely sure how I was going to feel about time slips, but Catherine Cavendish really pulled it off. I loved following along with the characters’ uncertainty about what was going on, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well everything was woven together."
"Great spooky story! Any spooky tale that keeps me up until 3 am because I can't put it down deserves full stars from me! I loved this story!"
"There is so much atmosphere, it was very easy to put yourself into any of the time zones. Everything was so easy to picture and I really felt part of the story.[...]It’s my first book by both Flame Tree Press and Cavendish but it definitely won’t be the last for either."
"I really enjoyed this plot-driven and spooky book and highly recommend it to fans of horror and ghost stories!"
"In this atmospheric novel, Cavendish tells what happens when tour guides go from telling dark and haunting stories to becoming the haunted ones drawn into the story."
"The Haunting of Henderson Close stands shoulder to shoulder with the Gothic classics."
"This is definitely a creepy novel and would make an excellent horror movie."
"If you're looking for a spooky ghost story I highly recommend The Haunting of Henderson Close!"
"If supernatural chills are what you seek then The Haunting of Henderson Close is highly recommended."
"This is the first book I have read by Catherine Cavendish and I LOVED IT!!"
"...would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good ghost story."
"I loved this book! ...it is more than just a ghost story."
"Superb writing [...] Cavendish’s writing is spot on, building wonderful characters and weaving a spell on us unsuspecting readers."
"...a wonderfully complex and extremely twisted tale of a haunted area."
"...thought-provoking and compelling read..."
"Catherine Cavendish delivers a clever, accomplished book that entirely normalises the ghost narrative and the timeslip aspects of the story, making it perfectly easy to suspend disbelief and imagine myself on one of Hannah’s tours, seeing and experiencing things that jump straight into the realm of the supernatural."
“Now, this is one GOOD BOOK! It's creepy, it's suspenseful and there's so many twists and turns that I almost found myself getting lost along side Hannah!”
“The Haunting of Henderson Close is more than just a ghost story, it is the story of a battle against an ancient, implacable evil. There are monsters here, and they are never far from the immediacy of the moment. What makes all that come alive, however, is the depth of the characters and the strength of the bonds between them that build alongside the story.”
“The use of setting was one of the main strengths of the book, as the descriptions of 19th century Edinburgh were detailed and made it easy to imagine just what Victorian Scotland used to look like.”
“The Haunting of Henderson Close is an atmospheric and spooky ghost story with a great dose of history. It's also deliciously twisted, violent and dragged me through the claustrophic streets of historical Edinburgh until the unexpected conclusion”
