Ghosts of Chanterlands





‘Insidiously eerie, sinuously unpredictable and compellingly chilling, Ghosts of Chanterlands is a spectacularly spectral saga that leads us deep into a labyrinth of dark myth and mystery. It deserves to win Catherine Cavendish many new readers." Ramsey Campbell

'A classic ghost story in the vein of Susan Hill’ – Priya Sharma, World Fantasy Award Winner

“Ghosts of Chanterlands captures everything I love about classic gothic horror. Reminiscent of The Woman in Black, it weaves an eerie haunted house mystery through generations of family tragedy and loss. Catherine Cavendish creates an atmosphere so vivid and unsettling that I felt as though I were wandering the shadowed corridors of Chanterlands myself. A beautifully crafted ghost story that is both chilling and deeply poignant.” Gaby Triana, Gothic suspense author of Moon Child

‘Fans of creepy, suspenseful gothic ghost tales will absolutely love this book’ – JG Faherty, author of Ragman, The Wakening and Sins of the Father

‘This story has it all: family secrets, ratcheting tension, misplaced trust, history, and stunningly written ghostly encounters. I could read this book ten times and still love every word.’ – Somer Canon – Imadjinn Award-winning author of The Killer Chronicles

'Fans of classic haunted house stories, Gothic fiction, and ghostly mysteries will find plenty to love here. Ghosts of Chanterlands is a chilling, beautifully crafted novel that lingers long after the final page. ‘— Melissa Prusi, co-author of the Stoker’s Wilde trilogy

“You don’t belong here. None of you do. None but us….”


1940. Pamela Courtney is evacuated to Chanterlands – the home of her aunts: Jilly, the eccentric one, who dreams of her days as a star of the silver screen, and Bunny, the pragmatic one.

But Chanterlands is home to more than just the living. There’s the spectral lonely boy whose room Pamela sleeps in and, in the long-neglected attic, she discovers a sinister secret of this once-great house.

But greater danger awaits Pamela during that summer long ago when war raged all over Europe and the safety her mother had wished for her took a dark and fatal turn.
