Old Castle 5-Book Box Set includes Jonathan Dunne's first five horror novels: The Squatter, Billy's Experiment, Crazy Daisy, Hotel Miramar, and Rosie. The Squatter: 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 free-of-charge 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 the 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. Financially broke, Molly decides to go public about the ominous presence in the farmhouse, hoping to cash in on the phenomena, never considering the repercussions of her actions. Billy's Experiment: A dark tale of mistaken identity... On the night of a lunar eclipse, park ranger Bill Steward rescues a baby from a strange band of misfits on the misty moors of Old Castle's national park. Seven autumns later, Bill and his wife, Dorothy, discover a ghastly experiment in a treehouse and a mysterious medical prescription written in a childish scribble. Bill realises what he'd observed on the moors seven autumns ago wasn't what it seemed. Who was saving who, exactly? Just as Bill's eclipse is beginning, so, too, is Billy's. Crazy Daisy: It is always night in the cave. Take my cold hand. Weeks before young Fern Keegan sees the ghostly silhouettes in the river tunnel during the Old Castle floods, a deranged patient, Gabriel Bogdan, makes an outrageous claim nobody at The Hillside Psychiatric Hospital believes until it's too late. The river runs through it, and the river runs deep. My name is Daisy, but you may know me as Crazy Daisy. Hotel Miramar: Welcome to Hotel Miramar, where the guests aren't guests. Journalist Dan Armstrong works for a struggling local newspaper. To save the tabloid from closure, Dan carries out one last assignment - the mysterious evacuation of the islanders from Crab Island, now an off-limits nature reserve. But Dan and his family soon learn the impromptu evacuation of Crab Island isn’t the only mystery on the island. A living, breathing terror lurks on the desolate isle. The Armstrongs don't find a nature reserve, but a freak-of-nature reserve. Dan's story for the local newspaper goes 'viral' for all the wrong reasons. We hope you'll enjoy your stay at Hotel Miramar, a once-in-a-lifetime experience... Rosie: A deep well of the darkest wishes. Rosie and Victor Ryan, real estate investors, land a massive sale to a mystery buyer of Wishing Well House. But the same night the Ryan family celebrate the sale, a bizarre accident robs Rosie of her mobility, freezing their idyllic life in tragedy. Victor volunteers to be Rosie’s full-time caregiver. But the accident has turned his wife into a paranoid stranger in a wheelchair she calls Winter. Rosie is convinced an evil entity of untold horror lurks outside their house and is trying to come in. Her obsession with protecting the household triggers Victor’s descent into madness. As the Ryan household spirals into claustrophobic dread and terrifying secrets, the eccentric occupants of Wishing Well House carry out a shocking ceremony with sinister results. A mother's love knows no bounds.
