About the book
In the quiet streets beneath Stirling Castle, Henry Dubois keeps to himself. Polite enough to the neighbours, invisible to most, he harbours a hunger that has kept him hidden for decades-a hunger satisfied only in ways too terrible to speak aloud.
For years, Henry has lived without family, without friends, without witnesses. Until the day a pale, rain-soaked girl appears on his doorstep.
She calls herself Olivia. She says she's his daughter.
As father and daughter circle one another in the cramped rooms of Henry's home, uneasy truths rise to the surface. But Stirling is a small city, and secrets have sharp ears. Soon, Henry must decide which instinct is stronger: the one that drives him to protect his own blood... or the one that has defined him all his life.
A haunting story of family, hunger, and the monstrous legacy we cannot outrun.

Be Notified When This Piece Becomes Available
We sell both brand-new books and pre-loved treasures through our secondhand imprint, Second Chapter. Every book is clearly labelled with its condition:
- Newly Summoned — Brand new, untouched by mortal hands. Fresh from the publisher.
- Barely Haunted — Pre-loved but in lovely condition. Light shelf wear at most; any previous owner left barely a trace.
- Clearly Haunted — A book that's lived a little. Expect visible wear — creased spines, tanned pages or scuffed corners — but fully readable and full of character.
- Exorcism Needed — Heavily worn and priced accordingly. These books have stories beyond the one printed inside. Perfect for readers who love a battle-scarred companion (or crafters after materials).

Second Chapter books are one of a kind. When it's gone, it's gone (that's rather the point). If you love it, don't leave it lingering in your basket — carts do not reserve stock, and another Spooky Reader may spirit it away.
If something's out of stock, sign up for a back-in-stock notification on the product page, or contact us — we're often able to order titles in.
Yes we do, however we need to do this manually. If you'd like to make a purchase with your tokens, please get in touch and we will put through a custom order for you.
