The House at Phantom Park

Lilian Chesterfield intends to convert St. Philomena's, a large derelict military hospital on the English coast, into luxury flats. Work begins, and the building resists her almost at once. Screams come from wards where every bed is empty, doors slam without a hand on them, and faces show at the mullioned windows.

The damage soon turns personal. Her surveyor collapses in pain nobody can explain and insists that he is a soldier who died in the hospital decades earlier. One by one, other members of her team begin to take on the wounds and torments of the men who were once treated there.

A former patient turns up with a grave warning. From him Lilian learns that whatever haunts St. Philomena's is a thousand times more terrifying than ghosts, and that the renovation has disturbed it.

This is a supernatural horror novel, relentless in pace, with an escalating run of frightening incidents on one site. Its fear rests on a real subject: the lasting trauma and PTSD carried by soldiers who come home from Afghanistan. Expect a dark, unsettling read in which the building itself is the threat.
