The Garden of Bewitchment
Author Catherine Cavendish
Don’t play the game.
In 1893, Evelyn and Claire leave their home in a Yorkshire town for life in a rural retreat on their beloved moors. But when a strange toy garden mysteriously appears, a chain of increasingly terrifying events is unleashed. Neighbour Matthew Dixon befriends Evelyn, but seems to have more than one secret to hide. Then the horror really begins. The Garden of Bewitchment is all too real and something is threatening the lives and sanity of the women. Evelyn no longer knows who - or what - to believe. And time is running out.

Catherine Cavendish
Cat first started writing when someone thrust a pencil into her hand. Unfortunately, as she could neither read nor write properly at the time, none of her stories actually made much sense. However as she grew up, they gradually began to take form and, at the tender age of nine or ten, she sold her dolls’ house, and various other toys to buy her first typewriter – an Empire Smith Corona. She hasn’t stopped bashing away at the keys ever since, although her keyboard of choice now belongs to her laptop.
The need to earn a living led to a varied career in sales, advertising and career guidance, but now Cat is the author of a number of supernatural, ghostly, haunted house and Gothic horror novels and novellas. Novels include: The Stones of Landane, Those Who Dwell in Mordenhyrst Hall, The After-Death of Caroline Rand, Dark Observation, In Darkness, Shadows Breathe, The Garden of Bewitchmen, and The Haunting of Henderson Close – all published by Flame Tree Press. Other titles include: The Crow Witch and Other Conjurings, the Nemesis of the Gods trilogy (Wrath of the Ancients, Waking The Ancients and Damned by The Ancients), The Devil’s Serenade, The Pendle Curse and Saving Grace Devine as well as a number of novellas, and short stories published in various anthologies.
‘Catherine Cavendish is a prolific writer of horror…I know I’ll be back for more.’ – Frank Michaels Errington, Cemetery Dance
‘If there is a crown (for the) queen of gothic horror, she should be wearing it.’ – James Lefebure, Modern Horrors
She lives in Southport, England with her longsuffering husband and black cat (who remembers that her species used to be worshipped in ancient Egypt and sees no reason why that practice should not continue). When not slaving over a hot computer, Cat enjoys rambling around stately homes, circles of standing stones and travelling to favourite haunts such as Vienna, Scotland and Wiltshire.
