In the quiet English countryside of the 1950s, twelve year old Lizzie spends her days exploring the fields and whispering woods beyond her village. But everything changes the day a pale girl in a crimson coat moves into the long abandoned house on Hawthorn Hill.Evelyne is strange-too quiet, too still. Her eyes are too old, her smile too sharp. And Hawthorn House? It hasn't known warmth in decades. Soon after their arrival, the village begins to change. Animals vanish. Children fall ill. Shadows stretch longer than they should. Lizzie is drawn to Evelyne even as dread coils in her stomach. There's something in that house. Something ancient. And it's waking up. A chilling tale of friendship, fear, and the secrets that sleep behind locked doors, The House on Hawthorn Hill is a haunting gothic horror that lingers long after the last page is turned.
