Colton Manor

Art student Ursula St Clare is not happy when she is forced to spend her summer break alone in a chilly, isolated mansion perched on the edge of a cliff. When a neighbour warns her that Colton Manor is haunted, Ursula decides to sublet a room in the hope that some human company will help keep the ghosts at bay.

Scientist Damien Knight is self-proclaimed sceptic when it comes to all things supernatural. He needs somewhere to stay while his home is being renovated, and Ursula is instantly attracted to the sexy older man. She entertains thoughts of a summer fling with her new housemate, but it isn’t long before Damien starts acting very strangely and Ursula begins to fear for her safety.

Has she let a dangerous, unstable man into the house, or is it Colton Manor and its evil legacy which is causing him to behave so bizarrely?

Colton Manor is a 37,000 word novella.
