Product Description
Product Description
"The dangerous thing about spider light is that it hides things - things you never knew existed. But once you have seen those things, you can never afterwards forget them ..." The sleepy market town of Amberwood seems to offer peace and anonymity after a shattering and all-too-public tragedy in Antonia Weston's past. But as she struggles to re-build her life, she becomes increasingly fascinated by the macabre history surrounding her: the disused watermill, Twygrist, with its brooding darkness, and the now-vanished Latchkill Asylum where, a hundred years ago, the unfortunate inmates suffered gruesome fates. But Antonia's fascination with the linked histories of Latchkill and Twygrist has alerted someone from her own past. Someone who knows all about Twygrist's darkness. Someone prepared to use that knowledge to the most horrific effect ...

I love Sarah Raynes books and this one is no exception, it has three stories going on the past and the present,and the the one in the middle , there is some really scarey parts and I found it very hard to put down. I do not write reviews that give away the plot as I really do think this spoils the book for people.If you like books with twists ,turns , and haunting stories then I think you willenjoy this book, Sarah Rayne writes these sort of books with superb skill.

The `spider light' of Sarah Rayne's setting is absolutely as creepy and eerie as the book's jacket says.
It's a really absorbing story that links the macabre history of a little market town to the more recent history of a doctor who's trying to start a new life there and who has her own ghosts to struggle against. The suspense really pulls you deeper in with each page, and I loved the contrast in all the characters - from the sherry-tippling matron of Latchkill Asylum and the predatory lesbian Thomasina in the early 1900s, to the scary and sinister Donna who has a score to settle in the present.
A strongly recommended read!

I was a recent convert to Sarah Rayne's books and had some trepidation when I picked up this latest one that it would not be as good as the others. I needn't have worried. She is still on top form, and I cannot wait for her next one to come along and scare me just as much. If I say that, in spite of everything, I didn't want the book to end that tells you just how much I enjoyed it.
