A chilling and atmospheric tale...you are drawn into a haunting mystery that will keep you guessing * Yours *
The Black Feathers has everything you could want in a Gothic novel, underpinned by a thrilling sense of menace. Reminiscent of Jane Eyre and The Silent Companions, the wild setting of the windswept Northern moors was a perfect backdrop for the rising tensions within Guardbridge, a grand old house in the finest tradition of English Gothic, keeping all sorts of secrets. Spooky, twisty, with a surprisingly emotional pay off, The Black Feathers is a wonderful way to spend a dark autumn evening -- KATE COLLINS
Chilling, haunting and incredibly moving -- BARBARA COPPERTHWAITE
The perfect book for a cold winter's night...an immersive gothic tale, dark and mysterious, in which it seems one must fear the living as much as the dead. Truly haunting! -- ANITA FRANK
Looking for an atmospheric read to while away the autumn nights? Set in a big house on the Yorkshire Moors, this Gothic ghost story delivers intrigue and suspense in spades * GOOD HOUSEKEEPING *
Atcmospheric, ghostly and gripping. A gothic tale of magic and wickedness * Yorkshire Life *
The Black Feathers is such a glorious autumnal read. With echoes of Wuthering Heights and Rebecca, it is both a spine-tingling ghost story and a powerful meditation on grief. A beautifully written tale that gripped me from the very first page. -- IRIS COSTELLO
