The House at Phantom Park
by Graham Masterton (2022)
St Philomena’s hospital has been abandoned for years - but something inside never left. As work begins to turn it into luxury homes, the silence breaks… screams echo through empty wards, doors slam, and faces appear where no one should be. Whatever haunts these walls isn’t just restless - it’s waiting.


Beneath an Indian Sky
by Renita D'Silva (2018)
1928 - Sita is swept into royal life in a palace of beauty and power, where one failure could cost her everything… and saving herself may mean a devastating betrayal. Decades later, Priya arrives at the same palace, searching for a fresh start, but finds whispers of a past that refuses to stay buried. As secrets unravel, one truth will change both their lives forever.
