Hannah Whitten
About the book
'Hannah Whitten was born to write horror! . . . Utterly brilliant'
Rachel Gillig, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Knight and the Moth
In this deliciously atmospheric horror debut from New York Times bestselling author Hannah Whitten, a grieving woman is lured to her late fiance's remote island estate - only to uncover eerie family secrets, a haunting past, and a monstrous hunger stirring beneath the sea.
When Claire's fiance Elias mysteriously dies of an unknown neurological illness, his estranged family invites her to a three-day wake at Harrow Point, their family home on a remote private island. Claire feels like she's being given the chance to find family again, to belong.
But something isn't right - their home stirs strange memories of the accident that killed Claire's parents, and Elias's brother seems insistent that she leave as soon as possible. As she dives deeper into the world of Harrow Point, she discover that there's something swimming in the bowels of Harrow Point, and it is hungry. But as Claire's window for escape rapidly closes, she starts to wonder, does she even want to?
'A wild ride from start to finish. If you're a fan of the type of horror that is viscerally creepy but also makes you whisper "hell yeah" under your breath, look no further! I loved every salt-drenched second'
Tori Bovalino, author of My Throat an Open Grave
'Propulsive and completely impossible to put down . . . Hannah Whitten is my new favourite voice in horror'
Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Child
'Evocative, haunting and deeply unsettling. Hannah's salt-soaked horror debut cements her as one of the most brilliant and incisive voices in speculative fiction'
Alexis Henderson, author of An Academy for Liars
