Crooked House, buried deep in the woods of a sleepy village harbouring a chilling secret, with its dark history of unsolved murders and spectral whispers, becomes the stage for a group of unlikely heroes.

Little do they know that the shadows harboring tortured spirits are just the beginning. When Kane’s strong-willed kid brother Zach, headstrong Meridia Wilson, and child prodigy Izzy Di Salvo are reluctantly dragged into the venture, they quickly discover that the malevolent force lurking within is far more ancient and sinister than any ghost.
As the group delves deeper into the haunted halls, a malevolent force awaits, hungry for their fears and vulnerabilities. In a race against time, they enlist the help of Peter Higginsworth, a world-renowned historian and paranormal expert. Together, they hope to outsmart the terrors within Crooked House and tip the scales between good and evil.
With every step, the secrets of Crooked House unravel, revealing a darkness that goes beyond their darkest nightmares. Can this unlikely team unlock the harrowing secrets and survive the malevolent forces that threaten to consume them?
In this edgy and dark young adult supernatural horror novel, survival comes at a harrowing cost, and the echoes of Crooked House linger long after the final chapter.
