The Ghosts of Merry Hall – Heather Davey | Storytel Books

Om boken

In modern-day England, a mother and daughter move into a crumbling Victorian house through which wind whistles eerily, floorboards creak ominously and things go bump in the night.

The ghost of a girl who performed in Victorian freak shows haunts this chilling gothic ghost story, reminiscent of Laura Purcell’s The Silent Companions and Alice Hoffman’s The Museum of Extraordinary Things.

In 2025, following the break-up of her marriage, cash-strapped single mother Nell moves into the crumbling Merry Hall with her teenage daughter, Fern, to housesit for its evasive owner. She’s determined to make a new life in the gloomy Victorian mansion but the noises, moving objects and strange smells in her new home make her increasingly unsettled.

In the 1840s, showman Abel Wenham seduces Dolly, a talented albino girl and makes her the star of his performing collection of freaks. But after she becomes pregnant with his child, he discards her and imprisons her at Merry Hall, where her only solace is the company of fellow performers Ida the Bear Lady and the Jack the Posturer. They plan to escape with Dolly and her child and set up in business, but Wenham has other ideas.

Is Dolly, just one of the ghosts that haunt Merry Hall, reaching out across the centuries to right the wrongs of the past?

‘Dark, unsettling and beautifully written, this gothic chiller is full of surprises. Terrifying but impossible to put down – I loved it!’
Carly Reagon, author of The Toll House and Hear Him Calling

‘A darkly gleaming gem of a novel about the persistence of memory and the dangers lurking in the shadows of an old and brooding house.’ A. J. Elwood, author of The Other Lives of Miss Emily White and The Cottingley Cuckoo

‘A mesmerising and original gothic tale that I struggled to put down. Beautifully written, dark and delicious. I literally dropped everything to read it in two days!’
Jody Cooksley, author of The Small Museum

‘The Ghosts of Merry Hall is a gothic treasure chest full of seedy secrets and eerie charm. I loved Dolly Dove from the start.’ Verity M. Holloway, author of The Others of Edenwell
