The Books Oracle
by Sarah Waters
Doctor Faraday returns to Hundreds Hall, the decaying estate where his mother once served, now home to the struggling Ayres family in postwar England. As unsettling events plague the household, Faraday becomes entangled in the family's unraveling, unable to distinguish psychological distress from supernatural menace. Waters crafts a slow-burn Gothic suffused with class tension and ambiguous horror.
