Présentation de l'éditeur :
In an exquisitely chilling debut novel, four children unravel the mystery of a family curse — and a ghostly creature known in folklore as Long Lankin.
When Cora and her younger sister, Mimi, are sent to stay with their elderly aunt in the isolated village of Byers Guerdon, they receive a less-than-warm welcome. Auntie Ida is eccentric and rigid, and the girls are desperate to go back to London. But what they don’t know is that their aunt’s life was devastated the last time two young sisters were at Guerdon Hall, and she is determined to protect her nieces from an evil that has lain hidden for years. Along with Roger and Peter, two village boys, Cora must uncover the horrifying truth that has held Bryers Guerdon in its dark grip for centuries — before it’s too late for little Mimi. Riveting and intensely atmospheric, this stunning debut will hold readers in its spell long after the last page is turned.

LONG LANKIN
'He's here again,' she whispered.
'Who - who's here again?'
'Listen to me. He knows she's here. He will hunt for her. He will smell her out. They all hope he's gone away, but he never goes away. He just waits. He'll be looking for that little girl, then he can rest again - until the next one comes . . .'
'Who? Who are you talking about?'
'Long Lankin ,' she hissed, holding my collar in her dirty, veined old hands. ' Long Lankin . . .'
Set against a backdrop of murder, witchcraft and revenge, this eerie tale of a young girl's struggle to protect her sister from a centuries-old evil is beautifully evocative and utterly spellbinding.
'I struggled to put it down . . . I hope everyone discovers Lindsey Barraclough'
