Wendy Webb writes gothic suspense set around old houses, Great Lakes landscapes and families carrying supernatural secrets. The Tale of Halcyon Crane follows a woman who learns that her mother did not die when she had been told and returns to an island home with a disturbing history. The Vanishing centres on a woman who accepts a position at a remote mansion after her life collapses, while The Haunting of Brynn Wilder brings a group of strangers together at an inn near Lake Superior. Webb’s novels are atmospheric and accessible, combining ghosts, family mysteries and romantic or domestic threads rather than pure horror. They are especially suited to readers of modern gothic fiction, haunted-house stories and supernatural mystery. Read more Less
