9pm

By Amy Cross

Late one night, Jane Lucas makes a surprising discovery on the step of her local church: a newborn baby has been left wrapped in a blanket, with no note and no explanation. With heavy rain starting to fall, Jane takes the baby inside and makes arrangements to have him collected. But as the rain gets stronger and heavier, Jane starts to notice something moving in the shadows.

Help soon arrives in the form of Roger, who's there to take the child away. But he too quickly realizes that something is very wrong inside the church. For years, there have been rumors of a ghostly figure that is only ever seen at night. Jane insists that these rumors can't possibly be based on anything real, yet even she can't deny the sense of menace that seems to be spreading slowly through the building...

And trying to take the child.

Jane and Roger soon find themselves trapped in a battle to save the newborn boy from a terrifying entity. They can leave the church whenever they want, but only if they let the child stay. But what kind of creature is so desperate to claim a young life? And how far will this evil force go in its efforts to get what it wants?

9pm is the second book in the Haunting of London series, a collection of stand-alone but loosely linked horror stories set over the course of one ghostly twenty-four hour period in the city.
