Synopsis

The Caleighs have had a terrible year . . . They need time and space, while they await the news they dread. Gabe has brought his wife, Eve, and daughters, Loren and Cally, down to Devon, to the peaceful seaside village of Hollow Bay. He can work and Eve and the kids can have some peace and quiet and perhaps they can try, as a family, to come to terms with what's happened to them . . .

Crickley Hall is an unusually large house on the outskirts of the village at the bottom of Devil's Cleave, a massive tree-lined gorge - the stuff of local legend. A river flows past the front garden. It's perfect for them . . . if a bit gloomy. And Chester, their dog, seems really spooked at being away from home. And old houses do make sounds. And it's constantly cold. And even though they shut the cellar door every night, it's always open again in morning . . .

Media Reviews
Praise for The Secret of Crickley Hall This is a powerfully disturbing read...two pages in, the reader is hooked, and Herbert has done his job. The horror. The horror. --The Guardian A chilling classic haunted house tale. --Publishers Weekly , starred review A new James Herbert novel is always a mesmerizing experience. --Fangoria A literary Steven Spielberg. --The Sunday Times Herbert is regarded as Britain's Stephen King, and for good reason...taut, unflinching, compelling, and downright disturbing, Herbert is a name to remember. --Charleston Post and Courier
