Summary

A ghostly tale of magic and wickedness, set on the Yorkshire moors in the 1800s.

When Annie marries widower Edward Stonehouse and arrives at his estate on the Yorkshire moors, she thinks she’s put darkness behind her.

She is mistaken. Edward’s sister, Iris, still lives in the family home. A taxidermist and medium, she urges Annie to look for black feathers - claiming that they mark the spot where a spirit has visited.

Critics Review

If Halloween whets your appetite for Victorian Gothic, the author of The Whistling delivers once again. * Saga *
A chilling gothic thriller * Woman’s Own *
An atmospheric, eerie read, perfect for autumn * PRIMA *
A chilling and atmospheric tale…you are drawn into a haunting mystery that will keep you guessing * Yours *
The Black Feathers has everything you could want in a Gothic novel, underpinned by a thrilling sense of menace. Reminiscent of Jane Eyre and The Silent Companions, the wild setting of the windswept Northern moors was a perfect backdrop for the rising tensions within Guardbridge, a grand old house in the finest tradition of English Gothic, keeping all sorts of secrets. Spooky, twisty, with a surprisingly emotional pay off, The Black Feathers is a wonderful way to spend a dark autumn evening – KATE COLLINS
Chilling, haunting and incredibly moving – BARBARA COPPERTHWAITE
The perfect book for a cold winter’s night…an immersive gothic tale, dark and mysterious, in which it seems one must fear the living as much as the dead. Truly haunting! – ANITA FRANK
Looking for an atmospheric read to while away the autumn nights? Set in a big house on the Yorkshire Moors, this Gothic ghost story delivers intrigue and suspense in spades * GOOD HOUSEKEEPING *
Atcmospheric, ghostly and gripping. A gothic tale of magic and wickedness * Yorkshire Life *
The Black Feathers is such a glorious autumnal read. With echoes of Wuthering Heights and Rebecca, it is both a spine-tingling ghost story and a powerful meditation on grief. A beautifully written tale that gripped me from the very first page. – IRIS COSTELLO
