As in her stone she reigns supreme…’
When Jonathan agrees to accompany his girlfriend, Nadia, on a trip to Landane, he imagines a short relaxing break in the countryside. But he quickly discovers that Nadia isn’t just drawn to the ancient Neolithic stone circle, she is obsessed by the megaliths. One in particular holds a fascination for her. Within hours, her personality begins to change, and it isn’t long before Jonathan starts to fear for her sanity.
Reaching far back into the past and up to the present day, those same stones have demonstrated powers beyond reason and, as Jonathan’s girlfriend becomes increasingly distant from reality, some of the ghosts of the past begin to reappear.
Now it isn’t only Nadia who is in danger.

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 supernatural, ghostly, haunted house and Gothic horror novels, novellas and short story collections, including: Those Who Dwell in Mordenhyrst Hall; The After-Death of Caroline Rand; Dark Observation; In Darkness, Shadows Breathe; The Garden of Bewitchment; The Haunting of Henderson Close; The Darkest Veil; and The Crow Witch and Other Conjurings.

Recenzii
"A beguiling and haunting work of dark fantasy stretching from Victorian times through the psychedelic ‘60s and on into the present day. So sit back, put some Petra’s Magic Garden on the turntable, and prepare to gaze upon The Stones of Landane."
"[A] tale of romance and destiny, steeped in tension and uncertainty. [...] The slow build of dread was perfectly paced and incredibly impactful."
On Those Who Dwell in Mordenhyrst Hall:
"[Catherine Cavendish is] one of the leading lights in gothic and supernatural tales [...] this is a perfect introduction to her writing"
"Those Who Dwell in Mordenhyrst Hall is a very strong work of Gothic horror and may be Cavendish’s best book so far."
"Those Who Dwell at Mordenhyest Hall is a very good historical horror capturing the period, the perspective on the classes and mixed in some very satisfying scenes of horror. Highly enjoyable and well worth your time!"
"Another amazingly mysterious and thrilling tale from Catherine Cavendish! I had an absolute blast reading this! Horror fans, this gothic horror story will have you ready to leave an extra light on while reading as you may just hear footsteps when no one else is around or see ghostly figures lurking… And watch out for any birds of prey!"
