  BEDLAM; A Wychwood Ghost Story...

  London, 1895. Beneath the grandeur of Queen Victoria’s reign, shadows lengthen. Private asylums thrive, promising rest for troubled minds, yet many conceal despair rather than cure it. None more so than Fairheather Asylum for the Infirmed and Lunatic—a place where hope decays in candlelit corridors, and whispers linger long after midnight. 
  Emily, unwillingly confined, seeks solace at her favorite window in the Day Room. Beyond the mews she chases glimpses of the emperor butterfly, said to grant wishes to the pure of heart. Yet one window remains bare, lifeless, avoided even by insects. And there, framed in peeling paint and grime, waits the figure she dreads most: a gaunt specter draped in tatters, hair like tangled roots, eyes black as voids. Its lips move without sound, repeating the same chilling demand—“Where are my beads? Where are my beads?” 
  The haunting is no accident. Its roots lie far from London, in the ancient soil of the Wychwood borderlands where four counties meet. A century ago, in a plow-field near Oddington House, something was unearthed that should have remained buried. What was disturbed has cursed Emily’s bloodline ever since, binding her to the phantom that now stalks her reflection. 
  Each episode of BEDLAM: A Wychwood Ghost Story peels back layers of horror: the buried relic, the sins of a family long damned, the cruelties of doctors who confuse torment with treatment. A tale of inheritance, madness, and the hunger of the dead, BEDLAM invites you into a world where reason falters, the past refuses burial, and the ghost at the window grows stronger with every glance. 
  Step into Fairheather. Listen for the whispers. Watch the windows. 
  But do not meet her gaze too long.

  The BRAND NEW beautiful historical novel from Victoria Scott, perfect for fans of Evie Woods, Kate Storey and Rachel Burton ✨

  Praise for Victoria Scott: 
  'Beautifully written and delightfully unsettling... an evocative read, set in an unusual landscape, that will pull you in from the first page' – Rachel Burton 
  The twists and turns revealed kept me turning pages way longer than I was meant to stay awake. The way Meredith's mind gets confused as she learns more and more tugged at my heart, and reading Ellen's experiences with her beau and how his mental health was essentially compartmentalised in an era when there wasn't much knowledge was heartwrenching. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
  'Within the tale, there are elements of the gothic tradition, with old houses, fog, rising waters, stormy weather and more. The reader's pulse rate rises as we are committed to following the action. I thoroughly enjoyed The House In The Water. It consumed me from the start. It was the first book by Victoria Scott but I certainly she she will write more.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
  'Don't you love a dual time line novel? I do and this one is exceptional – I have read the author's earlier work and this is straying into much darker territory, but I think it only serves to show what a great writer she is… Atmospheric, gripping, with huge heart and impossible to put down – the very best sort of book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful captivating prose, kept me totally engaged in both timelines.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
  Wonderful. My first by this author but not the last. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
  'This is definitely a spellbinding and unsettling tale with a dash of romance set in WW2 and 2013 that might haunt your dreams and leave you with a lot to think about! A riveting read.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
  'I was engrossed in the story from the start. May Day House is a rehab house for soldiers during WWII. They are cared for and sent back to war. Years later a couple buys the house which soon appears to be haunted by the soldiers who had been there. It is a great story.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
