Many years ago, a terrible tragedy struck the new owners of Hadlow House. Those dark rooms have stood empty ever since, but now fresh blood is about to arrive. Edward thought that by moving to the other side of the world, he could forget about Hadlow House forever. Following a shocking accident, however, he and his family are forced to confront the past. With little money and no prospects, Edward finds himself faced with only one real option. As soon as they arrive back at the house, Edward and Elsa discover that something is horribly wrong. What once seemed like a fitting act of respect now threatens to spill out and bring fresh horror. Can Edward finally face the truth about his family, or will he make the same awful mistake as those who came before him? 1885 is the sixth book in the Haunting of Hadlow House series, which tells the story of one haunted house over the centuries from its construction to the present day. All the lives, all the souls, all the tragedies... and all the ghosts. Readers are advised to start with the first book in the series.
