Secret Lives of the Dead

A dark folk horror tale of a deadly family curse, crime and murder from the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Netflix’s The Silence.

When Jodi, BB and Matt decide to burgle a derelict country home as a thrilling dare, they become embroiled in a twisted legacy of supernatural terror. There are rumours of a bizarre curse hanging over the hoard of antiques and jewellery within the house. And unbeknownst to the others, one member of the trio has darker motives for breaking into the property.

Lem is a man obsessed with a gruesome family legend. He is determined to right the wrongs of the past and lift the curse placed on his bloodline. By completing the work of his father and returning a selection of disparate relics to his ancestral home, he hopes to be free of the malign influence that has hounded every generation of his family for two centuries.

Across a single day in the depths of the house, desperation will confront sinister machinations and soon all those trapped within are given cause to wonder… can believing in a curse deeply enough bring its own bad luck?
