Dark Observation

With dark secrets underground and hints of the occult, this is a must for readers of Adam Nevill and Susan Hill.

"A dark, disturbing thrill ride." - Publisher's Weekly

Eligos is waiting...fulfil your destiny

1941. In the dark days of war-torn London, Violet works in Churchill's subterranean top secret Cabinet War Rooms, where key decisions that will dictate Britain's conduct of the war are made. Above, the people of London go about their daily business as best they can, unaware of the life that teems beneath their feet.

Night after night the bombs rain down, yet Violet has far more to fear than air raids. A mysterious man, a room only she can see, memories she can no longer trust, and a best friend who denies their shared past... Something or someone - is targeting her.

'Catherine Cavendish is a prolific writer of horror...I know I'll be back for more.' - Frank Michaels Errington, Cemetery Dance

'If there is a crown (for the) queen of gothic horror, she should be wearing it.' - James Lefebure, Modern Horrors

Cat first started writing when someone thrust a pencil into her hand. Unfortunately, as she could neither read nor write properly at the time, none of her stories actually made much sense. However as she grew up, they gradually began to take form and, at the tender age of nine or ten, she sold her dolls' house, and various other toys to buy her first typewriter - an Empire Smith Corona. She hasn't stopped bashing away at the keys ever since, although her keyboard of choice now belongs to her laptop.

The need to earn a living led to a varied career in sales, advertising and career guidance but Cat is now the full-time author of a number of supernatural, ghostly, haunted house and Gothic horror novels, novellas and short story collections, including Dark Observation, In Darkness, Shadows Breathe, The Garden of Bewitchment, and The Haunting of Henderson Close - all from Flame Tree Press, and The Darkest Veil, The Malan Witch, the Nemesis of the Gods trilogy (Wrath of the Ancients, Waking the Ancients, Damned by the Ancients), The Devil's Serenade, Dark Avenging Angel, The Pendle Curse, Saving Grace Devine and Linden Manor.

She lives in Southport, England with her longsuffering husband and black cat (who remembers that her species used to be worshipped in ancient Egypt and sees no reason why that practice should not continue).

When not slaving over a hot computer, Cat enjoys rambling around stately homes, circles of standing stones and travelling to favourite haunts such as Vienna and Edinburgh.

Cat can be found prowling the internet in various locations including: @cat_cavendish on Twitter, @catcavendish on Instagram and at catherinecavendish.com.
