James Herbert | The Secret of Crickley Hall
The Secret of Crickley Hall is a chilling supernatural thriller from James Herbert, one of Britain's most influential horror writers. After a devastating year, the Caleigh family desperately needs time and space to recover. Gabe takes his wife Eve and daughters Loren and Cally to the peaceful Devon village of Hollow Bay, where they move into the imposing old Crickley Hall. At first, the isolated house seems like the perfect place for a fresh start – but something inside it does not want them to find peace.
The house is constantly cold, their dog is terrified, mysterious sounds echo through its rooms, and a cellar door that is securely locked at night is inexplicably open again each morning. As increasingly disturbing events unfold, the Caleighs discover that Crickley Hall conceals a horrifying past whose consequences have never disappeared. Combining a classic haunted-house story with family tragedy, mystery and relentless supernatural suspense, Herbert builds towards a disturbing revelation that connects the living with the house's long-dead inhabitants. The novel was adapted into a three-part BBC television drama in 2012.
