Ghost

Langlands House is haunted, but not by the ghost you think.

One day Rose goes out and never returns, leaving Augusta utterly alone. Then Tom McAllister arrives - good-looking and fascinating, but dangerous. What he has to tell her could tear her whole world apart.

As Tom and Augusta become ever closer, they must face the question: is love enough to overcome the ghosts of the past?

In the end, Langlands House and its inhabitants hold more secrets than they did in the beginning...

Wish Me Dead

The funny thing is I never even meant the first one. Now I bitterly regret visiting the cursed witchs house, deep in the middle of the forest. Its where I made my wishes.

I wished Klara Klein dead.....It came true.

I wished for the most gorgeous boy in town to finally notice me... It came true.

I wished to be rid of the poisonous busybody who destroyed my family... It came true.

I didnt mean for this to happen.

Not me, Steffi Nett, the shy one who never says anything. But as the body count increases with every wish I make . . .who else could it be?

"Remarkable." - INDEPENDENT

"Another crackingly scary modern gothic tale from Grant. Wish Me Dead is the kind of book that makes you want to curl up on the sofa on a rainy day and devour it in one go. Highly recommended." - CHICKLISH

The Glass Demon

In 1928, a series of mediaeval stained glass windows from the German abbey of Steinfeld were auctioned at Sotheby’s for the modern equivalent of £900,000.

A similarly fabulous series of windows plundered from the sister abbey of All Saints still exist, hidden at a remote location in the German Eifel. According to legend, the glass is haunted by the demon Bonschariant, who brings death in its most terrifying form to those who possess it.

18 year old Lin Fox has been unwillingly relocated to the Eifel by her father, Dr. Oliver Fox, who is determined to find the lost glass in an attempt to rebuild his failing career and finances. As his search begins, a series of horrific deaths plagues the town. Someone is stalking anyone who comes too close to the hidden glass, and no-one is safe – not even the most innocent. Can it be that the tale of Bonschariant is more than a legend?

Embroiled in her own worries, Lin is not interested in the legend of the All Saints glass until she meets a local boy who claims to know its location. Lin must now decide whether to share her discovery with her feckless father and risk the consequences for the whole family – or to go to the place where the glass is hidden and confront the truth of “Bonschariant”.

Like her debut title, Helen Grant’s astonishing tale beautifully captures the innocence and intrigue of childhood, only to taint it with the grown-up realism of death.

"Grant has produced a mesmerising page-turner that brilliantly depicts the claustrophobic fear of a young woman grappling with the deadly secrets of the forest and the demonic nightmare lurking within." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"A clever genre mash-up of bildungsroman, horror tale, historical whodunit, buried treasure adventure and academic mystery." - THE NEW YORK TIMES

SHORT-LISTED FOR THE CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL

"Grant's splendid début, set in a claustrophobic German town, combines the grisly folk-tales of the Brothers Grimm with the insiduous rumour-mill of a small community... The excellent writing, and the eschewing of anything remotely winsome or mawkish, make this an eerily subtle literary page-turner. Wonderful." - LAURA WILSON, GUARDIAN

"Densely imagined and intricately plotted, it's one of the most original and enjoyable children's novels I've read for some time." - THE TIMES
