Sinopsis

The Intruder is a story of the dandy Tullio Hermil, unfaithful to his patient and loving wife, Giuliana. Tullio is a Nietzschean superman. He is handsome, intelligent, and powerful. Also, he believes himself to be superior to other men and beyond the reach of their judgment. Therefore, he ignores the feelings of others, not to mention his own wife. Yet, at some point, growing weary of his debauchery, Tullio decides to attempt a reconciliation with his wife. Giuliana is patient and loving and forgives his husband's sins. In a single weak moment, Juliana has succumbed to another man's advances and has gotten pregnant. As Tullio learns about that, he gets furious. When the baby (the Intruder) is born, Tullio starts thinking of a horrible crime. Yet, he must find the courage to commit it.

    A baby will never be born at Blackwater. 
     
    There is much that heavily pregnant Grace still doesn’t know about her new husband King’s background. So, when word comes that King’s father is dying, Grace is eager to accompany him to his childhood home, Blackwater, located in a remote part of Tasmania. 
     
    Things go badly from the start. The house is in terrible repair, King’s dying father yells at Grace to leave and King’s twin sister, Ruth, seems disturbed by Grace’s presence. After his father’s death, King convinces Grace they must stay and help Ruth settle the estate, but as time stretches on he grows strange and distant. When Grace learns about Blackwater’s dark history, she begins to fear that it is the house itself exerting an evil influence on her husband. 
     
    Feeling increasingly isolated, and with the birth of her child looming, Grace knows she must uncover the secrets of Blackwater if she hopes to free her family from its grip.

    ‘A compelling, atmospheric and immensely satisfying novel containing echoes of Stephen King and Daphne du Maurier.’ CHRIS WOMERSLEY

He also befriends the local oddity, a man called Mr. Scroggs, who, along with a mysterious entity only referred to as Pencilman, are accused of kidnapping multiple children in their area.Now, it’s Jett's life that is on the line while trying to hide their secrets, because, as he had been taught, family protects each other. And, if you go against family, you yourself may become just one of the Ghosts In The Glades.
