Stephen

By Amy Cross

When Beryl Seaton accepts a position as governess at the isolated Brooks estate, she expects little more than a lonely winter in the English countryside. But the moment she crosses the threshold, the house begins to whisper.

Her young charge, Stephen, is silent and strange. The nursery is sealed. And no one will speak of the woman who held the position before her.

At night the halls echo with quiet sobbing. Doors open on their own. Something watches from the shadows.

As Beryl delves into the estate's haunting history, she uncovers a truth more chilling than she ever imagined - a truth soaked in sorrow, sealed by silence, and clawing to be heard. What happened in that house refuses to stay hidden... and refuses to let her go.

Even years later, Beryl will ask herself the same question: did she ever really leave?

Stephen is a gothic horror novel steeped in dread, grief, and the ghosts that bind us. Do you dare to read the infamous chapter 28?

Not so much a ghost story as it is a twisted psychological story

It starts off fairly disturbing and just continues from there. The plot is good but the bit of gore that is described within is a bit much if you have a queasy stomach. Definitely did not turn out the way I thought it would!!
