Eleanor, Richard and their two young daughters recently moved into their dream home, a four-bedroom Victorian townhouse in East London. they saved hard and this house is hopefully going to be everthing they hope it will be
But the cracks are already starting to show. There is something very wrong in this house. Eleanor is chilled by the eerie atmosphere and becomes convinced it is making her ill.

Travel Guide
London
Not a book for locations apart from one very ordinary looking London house on a regular street – but with a dark secret within.
It tugs on feelings of guilt and the pressures of moving house. Wanting to make a mark on your new home whilst effectively erasing the past of the person who’d lived here before. If you know the person whose house you move into, or get to know them by what they leave behind including words scribbled on the walls…you might feel strange in wanting rid of them but also disturbed they were there in the first place.
If the previous tenant moved out in suspicious circumstances, wouldn’t you wonder why? If the house creaked and groaned and you found more scribbles on the wall, wouldn’t you be bit distrubed? What if you started to feel that the house wanted you out?
Best not read this book if you’re in the process of moving!
