"Coates ratchets up the ghostly manifestations till you can't imagine there are any more stops to pull out--though of course there are." --Kirkus Reviews
Margot Hull never wanted to return to her childhood home. But when she is called back to the sprawling Gallows Hill Winery to bury her estranged parents, she is forced to confront a legacy steeped in secrets, silence, and suspicion. The old house, perched above endless rows of tangled vines, is more than a family estate--it is a monument to generations of whispered curses, haunted histories, and tragedies that the nearby town refuses to discuss.
With every step deeper into the estate, Margot's struggle becomes a battle not just against the forces haunting the winery, but against the darkness that claims her family's legacy. If she is to survive Gallows Hill, she must uncover the truth that binds the house to its past before she becomes its next victim.
Perfect for fans of atmospheric horror, gothic suspense, and haunted house stories, Gallows Hill blends spine-chilling tension with a deeply immersive setting, delivering an emotional and gripping tale of inheritance, isolation, and the unbreakable bonds of blood. Discover why readers are drawn to the slow-burning dread and unforgettable secrets of this modern supernatural thriller.
Unlock the secrets. Face the darkness. Welcome home to Gallows Hill.
