Publisher's Summary
By the best-selling author of Dark Matter and Thin Air, an outstanding new piece of storytelling, a tale of mystery and imagination laced with terror. It is a masterwork in the modern Gothic tradition that ranges from Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker to Neil Gaiman and Sarah Perry.
Something has been let loose....
In Edwardian Suffolk, a manor house stands alone in a lost corner of the Fens: a glinting wilderness of water whose whispering reeds guard ancient secrets. Maud is a lonely child growing up without a mother, ruled by her repressive father.
When he finds a painted medieval devil in a graveyard, unhallowed forces are awakened. Maud's battle has begun. She must survive a world haunted by witchcraft, the age-old legends of her beloved fen - and the even more nightmarish demons of her father's past.
Spanning five centuries, Wakenhyrst is a darkly Gothic thriller about murderous obsession and one girl's longing to fly free.
Critic Reviews
"A ghost story to chill and thrill...Like Touching the Void rewritten by Jack London, Thin Air is a heart-freezing masterpiece." (Guardian)
"Paver is the mistress of suspense." (The Times)
"A wonderful atmospheric and hugely enjoyable ghost story." (Anthony Horowitz)

A highly entertaining book
it's a great gothic horror and slow build up. I loved the setting and the narrative of the story. it did drag for a bit towards the end of the book...but the end is worth it.
the narrator is excellent.
I would highly recommend this book to any lovers of gothic horror like woman in black, haunting of hill house and M.R. James
