A gothic supernatural thriller by Meredith McGough, blending haunted-house and cosmic horror with a tragic romance that does not end happily, set in a cliffside manor on the coast of Maine where inherited guilt and old family secrets refuse to stay buried. For readers who want slow-building dread, a house with a will of its own, and a love story the house does not let survive. For fans of Simone St. James, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Darcy Coates. A week after she buries her mother, FBI special agent Elena Ashford is summoned to a house she has never seen but has dreamed of her whole life. A letter with no postmark. An iron key that will not go cold. And the Ravenswood name her mother spent a lifetime hiding. The manor stands on a cliff above the sea, empty since the night of the fire that killed everyone inside it. Elena’s family has been running from it for generations. Now it has called her home, and she is not the only one it called. But the house is not as empty as it looks. The chandeliers still burn. The halls run longer than the walls should allow. And somewhere at the end of them, something that has known her name since before she could speak is waiting—patient, certain, and in no hurry at all. Some doors were sealed for a reason. Elena is about to open one. Book One of The Shadows of the Past series.
