Publisher's Summary
In the midst of the woods stands a house called Lichen Hall.
This place is shrouded in folklore – old stories of ghosts, of witches, of a child who is not quite a child.
Now the woods are creeping closer, and something has been unleashed.
Pearl Gorham arrives in 1965, one of a string of young women sent to Lichen Hall to give birth. And she soon suspects the proprietors are hiding something.
Then she meets the mysterious mother and young boy who live in the grounds – and together they begin to unpick the secrets of this place.
As the truth comes to the surface and the darkness moves in, Pearl must rethink everything she knew – and risk what she holds most dear.
Critic Reviews
"Original and compelling, The Ghost Woods is a beautifully written, chilling tale that will stay with the reader long after the book is finished." (Elizabeth Lee)
"It’s no surprise that C.J. Cooke has done it again. She is the queen of gothic thrillers and never fails to amaze me with her writing. The Ghost Woods is an eerie, timely story and an instant classic of the genre." (Samantha Downing)
"Beautifully crafted, this thrilling and atmospheric read had me racing to the very satisfying end." (Rebecca Netley)

Incredible book.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! I realised quite soon that it was not exactly the story I was looking for but it was just superb. A mix of Laura Purcell and John Wyndham that I was totally not expecting! It was very funny too. It reminded me of the novel Yellow Jessamine in as much as the organic elements are concerned. The narrator was very very good, one of the best.
