"Hookland is that place you visited once, but cannot find on any map. Hookland is ghost soil." - David Southwell Barrowcross Moor is a barren, unforgiving place where trees twist in strange formations against ferocious winds. There is a new owner up at Briar Hall, some distant relative of Charles Evermore who died over forty years ago. The new master has new ideas. He's going to build a Living Museum, and he needs Jenna Ashley's construction company to help him do it. They're going to gather up all the old and unwanted buildings around Hookland and rehome them on the Evermore estate. As the project progresses, Jenna and her best friend Adam start to realise that it isn't only the buildings that are getting a new lease of life. There is something primal at work between the bricks and mortar of these forgotten spaces. "A slow burn of Hookland weirdness, atmospheric and inventive. Fantastical, yet rooted in realism that is alive with mystery and rich with history." - Ralph Pullins, author of Antiartists "Chilling and darkly atmospheric." - Laine Cunningham, author of Beloved: A Supernatural Thriller
