    About this ebook

    A short ghost story set in a fictitious English village about a young guy who can't believe his luck when he finds himself the perfect place to rent in an idyllic village, where he and his girlfriend Mel will finally get to have some privacy. But he discovers within hours of moving in that there is a disturbing undertone to the absolute quiet of his countryside surroundings, and it doesn't take long for his easy-going life to become unravelled.
