The Unwelcome

When The Lennard family buy a quaint holiday cottage in a small Cornish village they have every reason to think that it will make the perfect escape from their hectic life in London. 


But the residents of St Ebblis have other ideas. They don’t want outsiders coming to their village and buying up the housing stock so they decide to make life for the Lennards less than idyllic…


Soon enough strange things start to happen to the Lennards in their new home. At first it seems all fairly incosequential; taps turn themselves on, objects disappear and they all start to get the feeling that they are not alone in the house. But soon it becomes apparent that something much more malevolent is at work.


Can this really be the work of the townsfolk or is a long forgotten curse about to rear its head once more and unleash a terrible retribution on anyone and anything that stands in its path?


Set in 1985, The Unwelcome is the chilling debut novel from Jeremy Crane.
