Wayne Johnston recommends
The Hush Sisters (2020)
Gerard Collins
"Gerard Collins’ novel The Hush Sisters is classic Atlantic Gothic, with a few more sub genres thrown in for good measure. I used to live very near to where the book is set. Cold shivers. But the whole city of St. John’s is brought creepily to life. The unhushable Hush Sisters will keep you up at nightjust leave the lights on. Wicked and clever."
