Local author Gemma Denham returns with chilling new psychological thriller The Inheritance

Following the success of her acclaimed debut novel The Storm, local author, Gemma Denham, returns with her second novel, The Inheritance,  a gripping new psychological thriller published by Cahill Davis Publishing that blends domestic suspense with gothic unease against the dramatic backdrop of England’s northeast coast.

Set in a Victorian townhouse that was always too good a deal to be true, The Inheritance follows struggling couple Kate and Patrick as they inherit the home of a late aunt, believing it to be the fresh start they desperately need. But as they settle into the isolated coastal property, Kate becomes increasingly aware of a strange presence lurking within the house. What begins as unsettling suspicion soon spirals into terrifying events that threaten not only their relationship, but their safety.

Atmospheric, paranoid, and deeply unsettling, The Inheritance is a spine-chilling standalone thriller perfect for readers of Sarah Pinborough’s We Live Here Now and Riley Sager’s Home Before Dark.

Speaking about the novel, Gemma Denham said: “The Inheritance encapsulates that sixth sense feeling we all get at times. The one that creeps in when you have watched a scary movie and now you have to get upstairs to bed. Where your mind bends your house and its shadows into something it’s not. It was great fun to write and I’m excited to hear what readers think.  ”

With mounting tension, haunting imagery, and razor-sharp psychological suspense, The Inheritance cements Gemma as one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary thriller fiction.

The Inheritance is available to preorder now and will be available to buy in both paperback and ebook from June 12th.
