The Going and the Rise

Book excerpt: The author of The Colony series explores the mysterious Isle of Wight in this novella of “old-fashioned suspense combined with modern horror imagery” (The Times, London). Michael Aldridge, talented architect and devoted family man, has built his dream home on the Isle of Wight. But his new life there is far from what he’d envisioned. His daughter’s illness is becoming increasingly unsettling, and strange coincidences are taking him down a path where supernatural forces reveal themselves through the mist. And when that path takes a sinister turn, Michael must uncover a long-forgotten secret before it’s too late. A tale of deadly conspiracy and all-consuming obsession from the acclaimed master of supernatural suspense, The Going and the Rise asks how far you would go to realize your dreams, and what you would risk to protect the ones you love.
