The Haunting

Alex Bell

February 2016 Manuscript in English Middle-Grade

Represented by Thérèse Coen

Some curses grow stronger with time…

People say that all Cornish inns are haunted, but the Waterwitch’s history is particularly chilling. Built from the salvaged timber of a cursed ship, the guest house’s dark secrets go further back than anyone can remember.

Emma is permanently confined to a wheelchair after an accident at the Waterwitch which took place when she was ten. Seven years later, she decides to return to the place where the awful event occurred. But the ancient inn still has its ghosts, and one spirit is more vengeful than ever…

A chilling new title in the Red Eye horror series from the author of Frozen Charlotte.
