It's summer holidays in Damocles Cove and Alice, Violet, and Cal are off to Archaeology Camp.

The work is hard, and the findings are small, until one day a fellow camper turns up something unexpected. What is discovered in the dirt will plunge Alice and her friends into another murder mystery. Do curses really exist? Is a monster haunting Pendle Woods? And who is creeping around the tower after midnight? When camp ends and everyone is sent home without answers, Alice will need her signature logic, the support of her friends, and her special talent to solve the mystery of Pendle Woods and bring an end to a family feud that's been going on for centuries.

Pages : 154
Book Description
Both the terror and the terrible beauty in the everyday shape these stories from the Edgar Award–winning author, “Britain’s Patricia Highsmith” (The Sunday Times). Known for her novels of psychological suspense, Celia Fremlin helped usher in a new form of horror, one that could be found among neighbors, friends, and in ordinary lives. This collection of fifteen short stories highlights Fremlin’s acute perception and deft wit as she shines a light on the darkness that lurks in the corners of our existence. A middle-aged survivor of the London bombings during World War II gets the same rush from shoplifting—with an explosive outcome—in “Her Number on It.” Two women learn they can never hide from their exasperating friend even in a haunted cottage in “Don’t Tell Cissie.” In “Gate of Death,” a successful businessman finds himself paralyzed by his fear of flying, while in “Ephemerida,” an old woman gets a new perspective on life—and death—when her thoughts take wing. This collection of slow-burn stories cements Celia Fremlin’s legacy as “a major mistress of insight and suspense” (The New York Times). Praise for Celia Fremlin “Few people can chill the blood like Celia Fremlin.” —The Daily Telegraph “Fremlin packs a punch.” —Ian Rankin, New York Times–bestselling author “Splendid . . . Got me hooked.” —Ruth Rendell, New York Times–bestselling author “Brilliant . . . So witty and clever.” —Elly Griffiths, USA Today–bestselling author “A master of suspense.” —Janice Hallett, international bestselling author

Book Description
“Here are thirteen harrowing tales by the indisputable mistress of horror,” the Edgar Award–winning author of The Hours Before Dawn (Chattanooga Times Free Press). Sometimes the things that go bump in the night are our own thoughts coming out to play. Celia Fremlin, an expert on portraying the inner turmoil of everyday people, captures both the psychological and the supernatural in thirteen horror stories, her first collection of short fiction. Playing “The Quiet Game” with her boisterous twins drives one young mother to seek refuge in their favorite place—even if it is a land of make-believe. When her dying former lover makes his last request, it’s one demand too many for the woman he kept under his thumb in “The Betrayal.” Jealous of her husband’s young love, a middle-aged woman tries to remain “For Ever Fair,” until she sees the living proof of a doctor who can turn back the clock. A date night for a busy couple transforms into a living nightmare when they leave their daughter in the care of “The Baby-Sitter.” And after a rage-filled stranger comes to call, a teenage girl finally bonds with her obsessively tidy mother in “The Hated House.” Tales of twisted paranoia, passion, and despair reside in this “outstanding collection . . . all are well-written and all are possible and none should be read when alone in a dark house” (Savannah Morning News).

Book Description
“An excellent terror novel” from a twentieth-century master of psychological suspense, the Edgar Award–winning author of The Hours Before Dawn and Uncle Paul (The Times Literary Supplement). Round and round on the London Underground rides Milly Barnes, who has left her real identity—and a shocking crime—behind in the basement flat she shares with her second husband. A union in name only, the marriage has taken its toll on Milly, leaving her only one option: escape. Once Milly gets her wits about her, she uses what little money she has to take a train to the coastal town of Seacliffe. There, she finds work as the help for the kind of women she once was, and finds a humble room in a boarding house. Freedom, like a breath of fresh ocean air, exhilarates Milly more than the trappings of the life she has left behind. That is, when she’s not furtively reading newspaper headlines to check if she’s been found out. Or hiding from phone calls and knocks on the door. For the consequences of Milly’s not-so-distant past are closer than she thinks . . .
