One might say that Fox is haunted by the spirit of the place and time of which she writes, and she is able to reproduce in a remarkable way that sense of foreboding and mystery that all of us have experienced.\" The ArgusWhere once a Romano-British settlement sprawled across the hills in the north of England, there lies a modern town. Caught in a tense struggle between the growth of the university and industrial expansion, its fate veers towards the uncanny when a discovery is made beneath the old town hall. Into the possession of the university comes the skeleton of a woman, found buried along with a mysterious tablet bearing a cryptic message, and as the ratcheting tension between the townspeople is compounded by an unseasonal heat and sightings of a shadowlike figure haunting the streets, the vengeful grip of a long-buried curse pushes the town towards a night of flames and carnage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marion Fox","offers":[{"title":"256 pages, Illustrations \/ 16\/04\/2026 \/ Classic horror \u0026 ghost stories","offer_id":56966835962231,"sku":"9780712369251","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780712369251_6ee6e980-a44c-46e5-ad67-441fe8259505.jpg?v=1780929578","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780712369251","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
