The Girl of Grey House: A Gothic Tragedy - Paperback

by J. P. Harrison (Author)

It was an offer they couldn't refuse. For one of them, it was a choice that would carry them to the grave.

Adam and Jiselle are young and keen. Maybe too keen.

Desperate to start their life together, Grey House seems like the answer. A Victorian terraced house, a big garden, clean beyond belief, and impossibly low rent; the perfect place for them. Here, they could save for the house of their dreams.

But the apple tree in the garden taints the air with the pungent aroma of rotting fruits. The mould seeps into the ceiling the second they arrive. The walls rattle, hungry and attentive.

And the housemates develop an unhealthy infatuation with Adam, and an unhealthier-still disdain for Jiselle.

They soon realise the low rent wasn't a bargain. It was a down payment for their sanity.

As the house exhibits its sentience, it begins to claim Jiselle through the vessel of Janet, one of the housemates. Grey House seeks at every turn to deceive Adam, testing whether the Jiselle he knows and the Jiselle he sees are truly the same.

It's easy to enter Grey House. But leaving?

Leaving demands something to be left behind.
