The Devil Within

An isolated recluse living out the remainder of her days in the unnoticed countryside of early 20th Century Britain, for most of her life the mysterious Amelia Greystock has sought decrepit solitude within the decaying walls of her once-lavish manor house. Keeping her affairs from everyone else, the Greystock house has always been viewed as an untrustworthy domain, a mysterious artefact kept hidden from the rest of society. However, the elderly outsider's self-inflicted seclusion is rudely broken when Polly and Edward, two children sent to the manor to escape the nightly bombing raids hitting London, arrive on her doorstep seeking shelter. But before the children can breathe a sigh of relief, Polly and Edward quickly realise that something sinister haunts the walls of the Greystock manor. As the nights become stranger and stranger, a plot unfolds that could explain just why Amelia has secluded herself from the rest of society. Navigating a house haunted by ghostly aspirations and the wounds of crimes that have been all but forgotten, an evil presence starts to make itself known to the two children. Through further exploration of off-limit rooms and private areas the children uncover the history of both the house and Greystock herself, slowly beginning to understand the true nature of the danger they've found themselves in. Uncovering the myriad of sins and crimes that have since left the place feeling rotten to the core, the truth of the Greystock manor is about to be revealed. Stepping into the dark world of Amelia Greystock, The Devil Within promises to be one of the most twisted thrillers of the year.
