Synopsis

The idea behind this book is that before going to bed, Yorkshire farmer Mr. Poskitt liked to tell a little story or „nightcap”. Thus, J.S. Fletcher recorded and collected these stories in this book. There is a hilarious story, tales of robbing money and arguing over wills, orphan pigs running around the village causing havoc, broken hearts and jealous lovers, and misers and men trying to make a fortune.

    MOST POPULAR HORROR AUDIOBOOK OF 2023 - We Are Bookish/NetGalley 
    BEST OF 2023: YA HORROR AND DARK FICTION - "I was hugely impressed by Mark Wheaton's WHO HAUNTS YOU... barely a word is wasted in a tight, gripping and highly original supernatural thriller..." -Tony Jones, Ginger Nuts of Horror 
    THE YEAR IN REVIEW 2023 - "Wheaton...has created a first-rate protagonist in the sarcastic, suspicious, and determined Bex. The author takes the book further than one might expect, right up to Bex's psychiatric commitment, and seeing her hang in there until the bitter end, and never give up, is fantastic." -Colleen Mondor, LOCUS 
    High school senior Bex Koeltl is just trying to make it to graduation. But when her fellow seniors begin dying in seemingly unrelated incidents, Bex uncovers disturbing connections between their deaths, including that the teens believed they were haunted by long-dead relatives their own family members swear never existed. After Bex is visited by a malevolent specter of her own, she must get the bottom of this horror before she’s its next victim... 
    "An utterly readable teen murder tale with an intriguing twist and an endearing hero. Reminiscent of Los Duncan's classic suspense novel I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER..." - Kirkus Reviews 
    "WHO HAUNTS YOU is the first book I've read that not only delivers an unsettling supernatural mystery, but also paints a fully realized, wholly moving portrait of the autistic teenage experience. A vital book that will make any neurodivergent young adult feel seen, heard, and understood." - Craig Perry, producer, Final Destination franchise 
    "I loved it. Wheaton has built a buzzsaw of a supernatural thriller here--scary, surprisingly emotional, and loaded with enough twists to keep you guessing till the final page."- James Vanderbilt, screenwriter, Zodiac

    Read by the author, Tracy Whitwell.The Hidden Dead is the fourth book in a hilarious series featuring Tanz, the accidental medium who, with the help of the dead, has become an unwilling crime-solver. When the dead call, she listens. . .On a night out in a London bar, our accidental medium Tanz meets Einar, a charismatic and sexy Viking travelling for business. He offers Tanz an irresistible proposition: return to Iceland with him for an all-expenses-paid writing retreat and some no-strings-attached fun.Promised a mix of work, play and maybe a bit of romance, Tanz follows her heart (and the voices in her head) off to Iceland on a whim; but when she arrives, she quickly realises that Einar and his charm might not be all they're cracked up to be.Heartbroken, abandoned and left to the mercy of the long, haunting nights, Tanz finds herself surrounded not just by the rugged beauty of a land steeped in legend but also the mysteries that lurk in its shadows. With only the dead for guidance, Tanz is thrust back into the heart of a chilling cold case, where the echoes of the forgotten and the allure of old magic compel her to listen, to understand and to act. . .
