Passing Through Veils

A fragile woman is haunted by a murder that took place in her new home decades earlier in this chilling thriller. "Harrison's fiction lingers long after you turn the final page. He's a born storyteller." —Clive Barker When Kathryn Fields moves into a run-down Georgetown townhouse, she hopes that restoring it will help her recover from a recent nervous breakdown that derailed her promising career. But when she discovers a false wall in her bedroom, she mistakenly releases the vengeful ghost of a woman murdered in the townhouse. Is this simply a fantasy of Katherine's damaged psyche? Or have her own demons finally escaped to torment her? "A romantic and unsettling blend of Daphne du Maurier and Shirley Jackson. A real pleasure to read." —Daniel Kraus, New York Times–bestselling author of The Living Dead and The Shape of Water "A ghost story tucked into a very human story; there's a scene in this book that made me jump. . . . John Harrison has written one of my favorite books of the year." —Josh Malerman, New York Times–bestselling author of Bird Box "A perfect book for a spooky late-night read. . . . A well-crafted, goose bump–inducing work of psychological horror." —Kirkus Reviews
