2000s: What ever you do, don’t go down to the cellar..but then again the voices might be in your head
The Visitors
What you need to know before your trail
Marion Zetland lives with her domineering older brother, John in a decaying Georgian townhouse on the edge of a northern seaside resort. A timid spinster in her fifties who still sleeps with teddy bears, Marion does her best to shut out the shocking secret that John keeps in the cellar.
Until, suddenly, John has a heart attack and Marion is forced to go down to the cellar herself and face the gruesome truth that her brother has kept hidden.
As questions are asked and secrets unravel, maybe John isn’t the only one with a dark side.
Travel Guide
Northport
A fictional seaside town in Northern England. It’s a good job it’s fictional as you would never want to go there. It’s as if Norman Bates has family up north. But this is no nice seaside town as it has a sharp seafront breeze and there is no joy in anything or anyone.
In one of the big Georgian houses live a brother and sister. What is also inside is poverty, violence, abuse, mental health issues, and evil in its many forms
This is the kind of seaside town where the rides would be abandoned and the whole site would be a a ghost town. Where you can see hear the ghostly melody of days gone by on the wind, and where there is going to be a clown somewhere, but this time it’s head separated from its body…
Southport is only on the booktrail map as it’s similar in name, has a seafront fair ground and the wind can get quite nippy here too.
