A haunted woman. A killer with no name. A letter from Bethlem Asylum that changes everything.
The Peculiar Haunting of Esme du Frey is a gripping Victorian gothic thriller blending historical suspense, psychological tension, and supernatural mystery in gaslit London.
1889. Behind the elegant façade of Stamford Hall, Esme du Frey hides a life of fear. Trapped in a cruel marriage and burdened by her gift as a spiritual medium, she exists in the shadows of society - until a letter arrives from a woman confined in Bethlem Asylum.
The warning is simple:
You are being watched.
As strange apparitions appear and unseen footsteps echo through her home, Esme is drawn into a web of buried trauma, family secrets, and escalating violence. Somewhere in the city, a predator is moving closer - watching her, studying her, waiting.
To survive, Esme must confront the truth about her past, her bloodline, and the darkness that threatens everything she holds dear.
Perfect for readers of Laura Purcell, Sarah Waters, and Susan Hill, this richly atmospheric novel explores madness, memory, power, and survival in a world where women's voices are easily silenced.
