Paracosm

From the author of the best-selling series, the DARK CAROUSEL. PARACOSM will transport you to ghostly worlds only glimpsed in nightmares. Psychology Student, Zoe Cosgrove, arrives in the isolated West Virginian town of Bleath to study a strange phenomenon--a cluster of children who are experiencing paracosms (beliefs in imaginary worlds). The mayor of Bleath provides Zoe with accommodation at the empty Wilmont house. It's not the friendly farmhouse Zoe was picturing. Worse, she begins to doubt her own sanity when the house starts transforming itself. Late at night, scratching noises scrape along the staircase banister and inside the trinket box under her bed. And out in the wheat field below her bedroom window, ghostly figures wait . . . . Is Zoe slipping into an imaginary world of her own? Or are the things she's experiencing terrifying real? PARACOSM is a standalone novel. It is part of a wider world, having a deep connection to The Dark Carousel series. "This book is great on playing with your mind.... and for the last 20% I literally could not put the thing down. And the ending - it was NOTHING like I was expecting" - E.Maynard "A completely gripping and totally engrossing read from start to finish..." Brenda Telford
