At the Bottom of the Garden
by Camilla BruceA murderous aunt, strangely gifted children and witchcraft come together in Camilla Bruce&’s new intensely dark adult Gothic fairytale. For fans of Catriona Ward and C.J. Cooke &‘All the elegance and all the venom of one of E.Nesbit&’s supernatural stories served with a side of arsenic.&’ Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House The dead won&’t stay silent forever… Clara Woods has a secret. At the bottom of the garden is a flowerbed, long overgrown, where her murdered husband rests in peace – or so she always thought. Then the girls arrived. Lily and Violet, her adolescent nieces, are recently orphaned and in urgent need of care. Raising teenagers is certainly not what Clara had envisioned for herself, but they come with a hefty sum attached. There is only one problem: both girls are untrained witches. Lily can literally see how people feel. And young Violet can see the dead man wandering at the bottom of the garden. In fact, she can see all the dead and call them back. Soon, Clara finds herself surrounded by apparitions – and two girls who know far more about her dark past than they should. A war is waging in this house, and only one side can win… 'Theatrical and deliciously dark, this book is pure magic' A.J. West, author of The Spirit Engineer 'One gorgeously morbid gothic novel that's just as gleeful as it is gashlycrumb.' Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters
