The Ghosts of Chanterlands
Author Catherine Cavendish
“You don’t belong here. None of you do. None but us….”
1940. Pamela Courtney is evacuated to Chanterlands – the home of her aunts: Jilly, the eccentric one, who dreams of her days as a star of the silver screen, and Bunny, the pragmatic one.
But Chanterlands is home to more than just the living. There’s the spectral lonely boy whose room Pamela sleeps in and, in the long-neglected attic, she discovers a sinister secret of this once-great house. But greater danger awaits Pamela during that summer long ago when war raged all over Europe and the safety her mother had wished for her took a dark and fatal turn.

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.
