Samain by Meg Elizabeth Atkins
Spoiler:
From the moment he walks into Marchsteam, Henry Beaumont knows it is no ordinary village…
He has inherited a mysterious house left by his late Aunt, who he has never met.
The village is steeped in history and dark secrets, all of which linger in the hidden network of ancient trackways.
The eccentric array of inhabitants are no better – haunted by their pasts, plagued by long-lost disappearances and obsessed with the village’s history, they only make Henry even more suspicious.
Upon his arrival in the village, Henry spies a solitary woman crossing the common – a figure who looks out of place and time.
A woman, it would seem, that no-one appears to have any knowledge of...
The circumstances become even stranger, as Henry becomes woven into a curious pattern of events.
It's not long before he realises that there is far more going on in the seemingly quiet village of Marchsteam than meets the eye.
The date on the calendar draws ever closer to October 31st – a night better known amongst the pagans as Samain.
The night when the dead walk amongst the living.
The mystery deepens, as he discovers his late Aunt was supposedly involved in witchcraft, and that the old man living in the sinister house that the end of the village is obsessed with finding his missing niece.
Are the two connected in some way?
When the night of October 31st finally arrives, all the clocks in Henry’s house stop at midnight.
And he suddenly realises that there’s no getting out now.
He must figure out the truth, no matter what the cost…
