About The Book
Hardcover with sprayed edges. A fantastic, edge-of-your-seat ghost story from the ever-enthralling Catherine Cavendish.
“You don’t belong here. None of you do. None but us….”
1940. Pamela Courtney is evacuated to Chanterlands – the home of her aunts: Jilly, the eccentric one, who dreams of her days as a star of the silver screen, and Bunny, the pragmatic one.
But Chanterlands is home to more than just the living. There’s the spectral lonely boy whose room Pamela sleeps in and, in the long-neglected attic, she discovers a sinister secret of this once-great house. But greater danger awaits Pamela during that summer long ago when war raged all over Europe and the safety her mother had wished for her took a dark and fatal turn.

Raves and Reviews
"Insidiously eerie, sinuously unpredictable and compellingly chilling, Ghosts of Chanterlands is a spectacularly spectral saga that leads us deep into a labyrinth of dark myth and mystery. It deserves to win Catherine Cavendish many new readers."
– Ramsey Campbell
"A beguiling and haunting work of dark fantasy stretching from Victorian times through the psychedelic ‘60s and on into the present day. So sit back, put some Petra’s Magic Garden on the turntable, and prepare to gaze upon The Stones of Landane."
– Daniel Church, author of The Hollows and The Ravening
"With The Stones of Landane, the author delivers a gift of a novel, [...] rife with big ideas and cinematic plotting, and well-drawn characters. Mixing the cosmic and folk horror elements along with the stuff of classic gothic horror, Cavendish offers a rich stew of fright fiction elements that is satisfying but will also leave readers ready for the next helping."
– Daniel Robichaud, Considering Stories
"[A] tale of romance and destiny, steeped in tension and uncertainty. [...] The slow build of dread was perfectly paced and incredibly impactful."
– Erica Robyn Reads on 'The Stones of Landane'
"Hugely enjoyable and perfect for a winter chiller. Highly recommended!"
– Runalong the Shelves on 'The Stones of Landane'
On Those Who Dwell in Mordenhyrst Hall:
"[Catherine Cavendish is] one of the leading lights in gothic and supernatural tales [...] this is a perfect introduction to her writing"
– Concatenation
"Those Who Dwell in Mordenhyrst Hall is a very strong work of Gothic horror and may be Cavendish’s best book so far."
– A Reviewer Darkly
"Those Who Dwell at Mordenhyest Hall is a very good historical horror capturing the period, the perspective on the classes and mixed in some very satisfying scenes of horror. Highly enjoyable and well worth your time!"
– Runalong the Shelves
"Another amazingly mysterious and thrilling tale from Catherine Cavendish! I had an absolute blast reading this! Horror fans, this gothic horror story will have you ready to leave an extra light on while reading as you may just hear footsteps when no one else is around or see ghostly figures lurking… And watch out for any birds of prey!"
