Synopsis
An eerily brilliant and spooky tale of spiritualism and deception
'Now you know why you are drawn to me - why your flesh comes creeping to mine, and what it comes for. Let it creep.'
From the dark heart of a Victorian prison, disgraced spiritualist Selina Dawes weaves an enigmatic spell. Is she a fraud, or a prodigy? By the time it all begins to matter, you'll find yourself desperately wanting to believe in magic.

'Spooky, spellbinding, exquisitely written' Val Hennessy
'Beautifully, atmospherically written, this is a tale to thrill your very soul' Metro
'Sexy, spooky, stylish... a wonderful book' Guardian
