Product Description

Rooksnest Manor was a thin place, a place where the veil between worlds was frayed, a place where things came through which had no place here.

It was Christmas Eve and the snow was falling heavily outside. Lily and her five cousins were scattered into the dark corners of the old house, lost in a game of hide and seek. The prize for the winner was the carousel, the exquisite wooden toy that had sat on the desk in the library for longer than anyone could remember. But as she concealed herself in the dusty gloom of an empty bedroom, listening for her grandmother’s footfall in the hallway outside, Lily came to discover that there was something else searching for her in the shadows.

Crouching in the unlit space between the supernatural tales of MR James and the uncanny fiction of Algernon Blackwood, The Carousel is a short story best told by the fire with the curtains drawn and the door bolted.
