Description


From Bram Stoker and British Fantasy Award nominated author Gemma Amor comes anatmospheric gothic mystery that will haunt you long after the final page is turned. Morgan always knew her father, Owen, never murdered her mother, and has spent the last six years campaigning for his release from prison. Finally he is set free, but they can no longer live in the house that was last decorated by her mother's blood. Salvation comes in the form of a tall, dark and notorious decorative granite tower on the Cornish coastline known only as 'The Folly'. The owner makes them an offer: take care of the Folly, and you can live there. It's an offer too good to refuse. At first the Folly is idyllic, but soon a stranger arrives who acts like Morgan's mother, talks like her mother, and wears her dead mother's clothes. Is this stranger hell-bent on vengeance, in touch with her restless mother's spirit itself, or simply just deranged? And, most importantly, what exactly happened the night Morgan's mother died? An atmospheric nod to The Lighthouse, with hints of Du Maurier's Rebecca, played out on a lonely, Cornish backdrop, THE FOLLY is visceral mystery and family drama, a dark examination of love, loyalty, guilt and possession that draws on the very real horror of betrayal by those closest to us, by those we love the best.
