Liv doesn't believe in ghosts.
There is a small island off the coast of Italy that was once the site of a plague quarantine station, and later a psychiatric asylum. It now sits deserted, home only to the shadows of local folklore.

Liv doesn't believe her sister is dead.
Granted special permission to visit for a writing assignment, Liv sets sail for the abandoned island, but only she knows the real reason. She is certain it is the last place her twin sister Mia visited before she vanished eighteen months ago.

But Liv believes in whatever is on this island.
Alone with only her colleague Sam, Liv can't deny how unsettling the place truly is. How can a church tower toll when there is no bell? What is the ghostly figure in her peripheral vision? And why can she smell the smoke of burning bodies?©2026 Daisy Stephens (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Family Life Genre Fiction Ghosts Horror

Critic reviews

The dread builds relentlessly in this chillingly atmospheric debut, a cerebral twist on the haunted house novel . . . Daisy Stephens will make you believe in ghosts (LEIGH RADFORD)
Gorgeous writing, simmering tension and an atmospheric setting . . . a fantastic debut (CJ COOKE)
The most genuinely haunting book you'll read this year . . . Drenched in atmosphere so vivid and so visceral, this book made my hair stand on end. The thrills are creeping and insidious . . . Daisy Stephens masterfully balances the leeching, bone-chilling dread of the unfurling mystery with a sheer, heartbreaking earnestness that makes every desperate moment feel all the more immediate (MEGAN BONTRAGER)
Packed with mystery and suspense, this spooky tale brings to vivid life a fascinating - and deeply unsettling - slice of history. Family secrets and a truly sinister setting make this the perfect book to take to a faraway location and read as the sun goes down... (KATE VAN DER BORGH)
