Book Description
The Moorland Cottage by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is about a widow and her children, and their secluded life in a cottage. Excerpt: "If you take the turn to the left after you pass the lyke-gate at Combehurst Church, you will come to the wooden bridge over the brook; keep along the field path which mounts higher and higher, and, in half a mile or so, you will be in a breezy upland field, almost large enough to be called a down, where sheep pasture on the short, fine, elastic turf. You look down on Combehurst and its beautiful church spire."

Hare House
Author: Sally Hinchcliffe
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
ISBN: 1529061652
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
'Deliciously chilly' - Guardian 'Humming with suppressed hysteria and madness' - The Times 'Wonderfully evocative' - Heat Hare House is not its real name, of course. I have, if you will forgive me, kept names to a minimum here, for reasons that will become understandable . . . In the first brisk days of autumn, a woman arrives in Scotland having left her job at an all-girls school in London in mysterious circumstances. Moving into a cottage on the remote estate of Hare House, she begins to explore her new home. But among the tiny roads, wild moorland, and scattered houses, something more sinister lurks: local tales of witchcraft, clay figures and young men sent mad. Striking up a friendship with her landlord, Grant, and his younger sister, Cass, she begins to suspect that all might not be quite as it seems at Hare House. And as autumn turns to winter, and a heavy snowfall traps the inhabitants of the estate within its walls, tensions rise to fever pitch. Sally Hinchcliffe’s Hare House is a modern-day witch story, perfect for fans of Pine and The Loney. 'A beautiful, slow burn of a novel, eerie and shimmering in equal measure' - Mary Paulson-Ellis
