The General Theory of Haunting

Every haunting has a design… 

Winter, 1809. Lord Francis Marryman’s wife, Patience, is dying. In the madness of his grief, desperate to keep Patience’s memory alive, he’s compelled to build a memorial in the form of a remote country Hall. But as the plans move forward, Marryman Hall seems to become alive with more than just memories. 

Francis, a brilliant mathematician and scholar, has built more into the walls than just bricks and mortar...

Autumn, 2017. Siblings Greg and Lucy Knights, owners of K&K Publishing Company, are seeking a venue to celebrate both New Year’s Eve and the 18th anniversary of their company’s inception. At such short notice, there is only one option that still has vacancies: Marryman Hall.

As heavy snow falls, the guests drop out until a much depleted party of just 6 reach their destination and soon find themselves snowed in. As the guests’ private lives and demons are exposed in the increasingly awkward, claustrophobic atmosphere, the secrets of Marryman Hall and her history are also brought into shocking light from the darkness. In his grief, it’s possible that Lord Francis Marryman may have made a terrible mistake…

The General Theory of Haunting is the perfect Christmas ghost story to curl up with on the longer winter nights.
