The Vanishment
The Vanishment | Jonathan Aycliffe
1 post | 1 read | 12 to read
Peter and Sarahs marriage has reached an impasse; their holiday in beautiful Cornwall is chosen to mend old wounds and bandage past pain. The house they go to has space space for their writing, their painting, and their reconciliation. It has space too for its own memories and its own unforgettable horrors... but they are not to know that. When the locals are less than friendly than they might be and when the house sighs with its secrets, the sands of their marriage shift... and then Sarah vanishes and Peter is left alone. Or is he? Praise for Jonathan Aycliffe: Aycliffe has a fine touch Independent Aycliffe conjures up a feeling of dread that deepens with each unsettling incident Time Out Naomis Room must rank among the finest of English ghost stories... They certainly dont come more dark or fearsome. Newcastle Evening Chronicle

"You haven't listened," she said. "I can feel it. I felt it upstairs just now. There's something terrible here. In this house."

Currently reading this subtly creepy gothic horror novel! I only recently discovered Jonathan Aycliffe (NAOMI'S ROOM is also excellent), but I've relished both reading experiences; they're exactly the kind of horror I like, with evocative settings, fine threads of tension, and deeply disturbing undercurrents throughout.

misswendyd I ran out of room, but it's another terrific choice if you're looking for #spookyreads. 👻 7y
Chachic The cover already creeps me out, not sure if I can handle the contents. 7y

shelli72 Love gothic reads! 7y
misswendyd @shelli72 So do I! It seems like all this guy's books fall under that category, it's very exciting. 7y
misswendyd @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com Scary books can be so fun! I ended up liking but not quite loving this one--I'd recommend NAOMI'S ROOM instead if you're interested. I'm about to start another of his books as well. ☺️ 7y
misswendyd @Chachic He had AMAZING covers. And yeah, so scary! I had to flip it over when I put it down each night, hah. 7y
