The Folcroft Ghosts - by Darcy Coates (Paperback)

About the Book

"When their mother is hospitalized, Tara and Kyle are sent to stay with their only remaining relatives. Their grandparents seem friendly at first, and the house, hidden in the base of the mountains, is full of nooks to explore. But strange things keep happening. The swing moves on its own. Doors slam and curtains shift when no one is inside. And one room is kept mysteriously locked. Something is being hidden away, kept safely out of sight...watching them. When a storm cuts the phone line-their only contact with the outside world-Tara and Kyle must find a way to protect themselves from their increasingly erratic grandparents...and from the ghosts that inhabit the Folcrofts' house"--

Book Synopsis

Some houses keep their secrets. Others demand you uncover them.

After their mother is hospitalized, Tara and Kyle are sent to stay with grandparents they've never met at a looming manor nestled in the woods. At first, Folcroft House seems merely odd: doors that never open, eyes watching from shadows, whispers in the night. But when a storm severs all contact with the outside world, the strange becomes sinister.

Their grandparents are changing. The house is watching. And something buried beneath the floorboards wants to be found.

A slow-burn YA horror packed with gothic suspense and psychological chills, The Folcroft Ghosts is a must-read for fans of atmospheric haunted house fiction, sibling-centered narratives, twist-driven mysteries, and high-tension thrillers--the perfect evening page-turner.
