About The Book
A mysterious, psychological thriller from the ever-enthralling Cat Cavendish
‘Fear her now, fear the queen,
As in her stone she reigns supreme…’
When Jonathan agrees to accompany his girlfriend, Nadia, on a trip to Landane, he imagines a short relaxing break in the countryside. But he quickly discovers that Nadia isn’t just drawn to the ancient Neolithic stone circle, she is obsessed by the megaliths. One in particular holds a fascination for her. Within hours, her personality begins to change, and it isn’t long before Jonathan starts to fear for her sanity.
Reaching far back into the past and up to the present day, those same stones have demonstrated powers beyond reason and, as Jonathan’s girlfriend becomes increasingly distant from reality, some of the ghosts of the past begin to reappear.
Now it isn’t only Nadia who is in danger.

Raves and Reviews
'Cavendish breathes new life into familiar horror tropes in this spine-tingling tale of past and present colliding.'
– Publishers Weekly on In Darkness, Shadows Breathe
'A compelling, immersive, and intense time-slip horror novel with sympathetic characters that readers actively root for. The tale reads like The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle if it were written by Sarah Pinborough.'
– Library Journal on In Darkness, Shadows Breathe
"Those Who Dwell in Mordenhyrst Hall is a very strong work of Gothic horror and may be Cavendish’s best book so far."
– A Reviewer Darkly
"Those Who Dwell at Mordenhyest Hall is a very good historical horror capturing the period, the perspective on the classes and mixed in some very satisfying scenes of horror. Highly enjoyable and well worth your time!"
– Runalong the Shelves
"Another amazingly mysterious and thrilling tale from Catherine Cavendish! I had an absolute blast reading this! Horror fans, this gothic horror story will have you ready to leave an extra light on while reading as you may just hear footsteps when no one else is around or see ghostly figures lurking… And watch out for any birds of prey!"
