The Farm: The eerie, chilling bestseller of Australian Gothic suspense
After surviving a devastating health tragedy, thirty-seven-year-old Leila agrees to spend a year recovering at her partner James's remote family farm. But the vast, quiet landscape offers little comfort, and Leila is soon plagued by unsettling noises, strange dreams, and fleeting visions. When James dismisses her fears as side effects of her medication, Leila begins to suspect she is not the first woman he has brought to this isolated house. Isolated and doubting her own mind, she must uncover the truth of what is happening before she loses herself completely.
