Viola Hatherley was a ghost story writer in the 1890s whose work was forgotten until her great-grandson, as a young boy in Mawson, Australia, learned to open a secret drawer in his mother's room. There he finds the manuscript, and from the moment his mother catches him red-handed, Gerard Freeman's life is forever changed.
What is this invisible, constant threat that his mother is so obsessed with protecting him from? And why are the stories written centuries ago increasingly intertwined with the events of his own life? Gerard's quest to uncover the mystery that surrounds his family and his life will lead him from Mawson to London - to a long-abandoned house where the horror of ghost stories comes to life.
