'Powerful, haunting and truly terrifying' CHRIS WHITAKER, author of We Begin at the End 'Beautifully written and epically scary' ROSIE ANDREWS, author of The Leviathan 'Carly Reagon is one to watch' C. J. COOKE, author of A Haunting in the Arctic DISCOVER THE GHOST STORY THAT WON'T LET YOU GO . . . Kyle can barely remember his grandfather. So when they inherit his old house - a damp, secluded tower on the edge of a Welsh mountain village - Kyle and his wife, Lydia, feel they are moving into the home of a stranger. From the start, Lydia hates the house: the disturbing paintings in the attic, the hostility of the locals, the peculiar light that pours through the kitchen window. Kyle thinks Lydia needs a break from London, from the nightmares and the panic attacks. But over the coming weeks, Lydia's sense of dread only becomes more insistent, whilst Kyle is drawn to the house in ways he cannot explain. Yet as winter approaches, cutting them off, the house must become their refuge. For outside, on the mountain, something is calling to them. Something that has waited decades, and wants to be let in.

Hear Him Calling is about evil echoing through the years.
I enjoyed the two interwoven stories and the slow build up of creeping horror. The main character, Lydia, is complex and well drawn and the setting is carefully crafted and suitably eerie. This book is a well written classic ghost story with some moments that chilled me.
