Another masterpiece of suspense from the author of the acclaimed The House of Lost Souls It's the perfect seaside village—no crime, no one from the city. When things start to go wrong for James Greer in London, Brodmaw Bay seems to be calling him and his family. There's a perfect house, excellent schools—and welcoming neighbors who assure the Greers that they'd be delighted to have some new blood in the Bay. But perhaps the village isn't so much welcoming them as luring them, to something ancient and evil.
Publishers Weekly starred review of The House of Lost Souls
"A riveting supernatural thriller. . . . evokes influences that range from Dennis Wheatley (who has a minor role) to Shirley Jackson . . . Rich in atmosphere, the book builds to a shattering finale."
Kirkus Reviews on The House of Lost Souls
"Energetically reviving a neglected genre, Cottam delivers convincing chills alongside engrossing and highly cinematic heroics."
