Horror

The Silent Companions

by Laura Purcell

Newly widowed and pregnant, Elsie Bainbridge finds herself mistress of a crumbling estate haunted by more than memory. Among the shadows lurk silent wooden companions—life-sized painted figures that seem to watch and wait. A Victorian ghost story that explores grief, isolation, and the malevolent secrets hidden in family histories.
