“The winter sun slipped behind snow-clotted clouds as the pair of black mares pulling the carriage turned a bend in the road. After a long train ride and a longer hackney ride, Nathaniel Throne at last spied the rock-strewn beaches that lined the coast of Berwick-upon-Tweed.”

And so begins the story of Nathaniel Throne driven to this place in anguish over his brother’s disappearance, tormented by the ghosts of the Wright Mansion, and terrorized by Anna, mistress of the manor. Perhaps wrongs will be righted, perhaps spirits will be put to rest, but will Nathaniel forever be a haunted man because of what he’s done?

From the publisher:

The winter can be long, cold, and hard. Even the holidays can be terrible.
Then, there comes a time of year when some places are no longer used.
No longer needed.
No longer wanted.
It’s the coldest part of the year, in nearly every sense.
It is when a lot of the world is …
Closed for the Season.
Sometimes people go into those places anyway.
Dare you follow them?
