In This City, Where it Rains
By Lyndsey Croal
In This City, Where it Rains is a gothic horror novella set in an alternative version of Edinburgh.
Maggie is haunted by ghosts that only appear in the rain – and it always rains in this city.
At the edge of town, stands Tair House – a house that remembers, in a city that forgets. The mansion is so damned, it scares the clouds themselves from breaking, and the man of the house, Xavier Logan, and his wife Lucia, are harbouring a dark secret there – something that connects to Maggie and her ghosts.
Soon all roads lead to Tair House, where Maggie hopes only to uncover more about her family’s past and her muddled memories.
But the house is hungry, and something is waking deep within its roots…something that has been waiting a long time for Maggie.
