Hand By The Bridge

By Gavin Wilkins

For thirty-eight years, journalist Edwin Holloway has been haunted by the same nightmare - pale, desperate hands reaching through the railings of an old railway bridge. Doctors call them anxiety. Edwin knows they are something else.

When an assignment takes him to the remote coastal village of Ravenscar, those nightmares begin to feel terrifyingly real. What starts as a simple story about a fading Yorkshire village soon pulls him into a darkness that has been buried for nearly a century.

In 1932, four children were killed on the old railway line. The village has always told the same story - that it was a tragic accident. But as Edwin starts asking questions, he quickly learns that almost everyone in Ravenscar is hiding something. Some watch him with fear. Others with quiet anger. And a few will do whatever it takes to stop him from uncovering the truth.

As threats close in and the past refuses to stay silent, Edwin must confront not only what really happened on that bridge, but why the nightmares have followed him his entire life. Because some secrets don't stay buried forever - and some ghosts are determined to be heard.

Atmospheric, chilling, and deeply unsettling, Hand by the Bridge is a supernatural thriller about buried guilt, long-kept village secrets, and the thin line between the living and the dead.
