The Beast of St Ender
​​
England, 1905. Disgraced and washed-up Chief Inspector James Huxley is sent from London to the remote island of St Ender to be forgotten. When a young local boy is found brutally murdered, Huxley has to not only find the boy’s killer but also face the hellish, inhuman presence that is stalking the island.
In this intense and gripping mystery novel, Mats Evensson tells us a twisting story of old wounds, dark magic—and evil lurking in the shadows.
ALICE: A Ghost Story
​​
1844, England. Alice Reed, a promising young reporter, is sent to interview the reclusive Baron Thornbow when her coach crashes. Barely surviving the accident, Alice finds herself in the baron’s ancient mansion, haunted by strange occurrences—and caught in a perilous game of cat and mouse with a vengeful spirit hellbent on her demise.
Amid this swirling nightmare, Alice finds friendship—and perhaps more—in the baron’s entrancing maid, Miss Poole. Together, they must stop the malevolent entity before Alice’s very soul is lost forever.
Set in the same narrative as Evensson’s chilling debut novel The Beast of St Ender, this gripping and intense novella combines love and Gothic horror into a story that will leave you gasping for air.
