Sinopse

From the No.1 bestselling author of The American Boy and The Ashes of London comes a collection of three gothic novellas – Broken Voices, The Leper House and The Scratch – perfect for fans of The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley.
Three dark tales to read by the fireside in the cold winter months
BROKEN VOICES
It’s Christmas before the Great War and two lonely schoolboys have been left in the care of an elderly teacher. There is little to do but listen to his eerie tales about the nearby Cathedral. The boys concoct a plan to discover if the stories are true. But curiosity can prove fatal.
THE LEPER HOUSE
One stormy night, a man’s car breaks down. The only light comes from a remote cottage by the sea. The mysterious woman who lives there begs him to leave, yet the next day he feels compelled to return. But, the woman is nowhere to be seen. And neither is the cottage.
THE SCRATCH
Clare and Gerald live in the Forest of Dean with their cat, Cannop. Gerald’s young nephew, back from service in Afghanistan, comes to stay, with a scratch that won’t heal. Jack and Cannop don't like each other. Clare and Jack like each other too much. The scratch begins to fester.
In these historical and supernatural tales, Andrew Taylor, a top Sunday Times bestselling author, masterfully weaves mystery and the occult into short fiction pieces. Each story, steeped in the ghostly and the eerie, leaves the reader yearning for more.
For fans of S G Maclean (The House of Lamentations), Rory Clements (A Cold Wind From Moscow), S. W. Perry (The Sinner's Mark), E.M. Powell (The Lord of Ireland), and Robert Harris (The Cicero Trilogy).
