The Squatter

Book excerpt: The house is free... Single mom, Molly Greene, is forced to close her Michelin star restaurant due to the Covid 19 pandemic. To escape the ghosts of her past and the high cost of city living, Molly moves the Greene family to the isolated town of Old Castle where they move into a 200-year-old stately farmhouse...which isn't quite vacant. The Greene family realise they've become unwitting participants in a macabre contest where the farmhouse is first prize...or is it? Little do they know they're sharing their house with a sinister squatter that lingers in the fireplace, and likes to come out and play when the sun goes down. In danger of financial ruin, Molly goes public about the ominous presence in the house, never considering the repercussions of her actions. ...but it comes with a price.
