Cold Bath Street

Preston Oldcorn is Dead, But His Story is Just Beginning

From New York Times bestselling author AJ Hartley comes an extraordinary tale of dread and terror woven from the ghost stories of his childhood.

Preston Oldcorn is coming home in the northern industrial English town where he lives late one September night in 1978, when he has a dreadful encounter with the town's most infamous specter.

Moments later, Preston is dead. But his story is just beginning. Preston wakes in a world frozen in the moment of his death, a world where the other only residents of the town are ghosts like him, some of whom are mindless shades, but some are dreadful beings of unspeakable malice.

Preston soon learns that there are worse things than being dead, and the being which killed him has other plans for him. His only hope of salvation rests in reaching out to the living present, to a world which has moved on without him, but has not yet forgotten him.

Cold Bath Street is a tale of memory, loss, fear and just possibly redemption, even for the dead.
