Mallam Cross

ABOUT THIS BOOK

Folks, nobody writes ghost stories like Terry and it s fair to say that nobody knows Terry and his work better than Steven Savile. Started by Wright some years ago and now completed masterfully by Steve; MALLAM CROSS tells the story of a city where everyone is a ghost, inverting the whole ghost story trope by having a hero who is essentially the only living boy in New York. A single house in a city of hauntings which is the only place that isn t home to its own ghosts?

SYNOPSIS

Deep in the heart of middle America there is a town built upon crossroads.

It is a town unlike any other.

It is a town of phantoms.

It is a haven for the dead, a place they can go to be around their own kind.

It is called Mallam Cross.

The streets are a nexus for the supernatural, a magnet for the weird, and it is under threat.

A well known TV psychic, Maggie Carlisle, is coming to town with her team of ghost hunters, intent to expose the ghostly truth of the town's dirty secrets.

But Maggies is a grifter, a psychic with no gift who found a way to make a quick buck trading on the grief of the left behind.

Her ghost hunters are drawn to the house on the hill where a single candle burns day and night.

What's special about this house?

It is the only house in all of Mallam Cross that is not haunted.

It is a psychic dead zone, a malignant darkness that threatens the existence of the town and its ghostly residents.
