The Haunting of William Thorn [Paperback]

How to Sell a Haunted House meets The Haunting of Hill House in this split timeline queer romance, set against the backdrop of a haunted English manor from #1 bestselling author Ben Alderson.

One devastating betrayal. One fatal accident.

After his partner Archie’s death, William Thorn’s world is shattered, leaving a void soon to be filled by an unexpected and bizarre inheritance: a deteriorating manor near the seemingly idyllic Stonewall. Arriving, he finds a house steeped in decay as well as Edward, a man hiding many truths whom William is inexplicably drawn to.

Fragmented diary entries and writing that appears scribbled on walls of the house hint at a forbidden love and a dark secret buried deep inside, while a malevolent spirit that lurks beneath it all hungers for William, drawing him closer into the mystery.

In order to bring peace to the tormented souls and confront his profound grief, William must risk everything he holds dear, fighting for his sanity and his life against both the living and the spectral. A gift to the genre and a notable new voice for fans of queer horror, Alderson’s entry to the space is a shining example.
