From Bram Stoker and British Fantasy Award nominated author Gemma Amor comes an atmospheric gothic mystery that will haunt you long after the final page is turned.   Morgan always knew her father, Owen, never murdered her mother, and has spent the last six years campaigning for his release from prison. Finally he is set free, but they can no longer live in the house that was last decorated by her mother’s blood. Salvation comes in the form of a tall, dark and notorious decorative granite tower on the Cornish coastline known only as ‘The Folly’. The owner makes them an offer: take care of the Folly, and you can live there. It’s an offer too good to refuse.    At first the Folly is idyllic, but soon a stranger arrives who acts like Morgan’s mother, talks like her mother, and wears her dead mother’s clothes. Is this stranger hell-bent on vengeance, in touch with her restless mother’s spirit itself, or simply just deranged? And, most importantly, what exactly happened the night Morgan’s mother died?    An atmospheric nod to The Lighthouse, with hints of Du Maurier’s Rebecca, played out on a lonely, Cornish backdrop, THE FOLLY is visceral mystery and family drama, a dark examination of love, loyalty, guilt and possession that draws on the very real horror of betrayal by those closest to us, by those we love the best.  Incredible Praise for THE FOLLY by Gemma Amor "Morgan’s mixed feelings of love, guilt, and resentment toward her surviving parent and her lost loved one call to mind similar turmoil felt by the narrator of Toni Morrison’s Beloved. Overall, a modern gothic horror full of secrets, evoking classics like du Maurier’s Rebecca."  —Booklist "Amor’s slow-burn buildup to a feast of satisfying reveals will keep readers turning pages long into the night. This moody ghost story enchants."  —Publishers Weekly "One of horror’s most thrilling up-and-coming voices... The Folly  feels like the perfect read for a dark December night, particularly if there’s a body of water nearby."  —Paste Magazine Gemma Amor is the Bram Stoker Award nominated author of  Dear Laura ,  Six Rooms ,  White Pines  and the  Full Immersion  (Angry Robot, Sept 2022).
