The past isn’t always dead and buried.
A house with history. That’s how the estate agent described the old toll house on the edge of the town. For Kelda it’s the perfect rural home for her young son Dylan after a difficult few years.
But when Kelda finds a death mask concealed behind one of the walls, everything changes. Inexplicable things happen in the house, Kelda cannot shake the feeling of being watched and Dylan is plagued by nightmares, convinced he can see figures in his room. As Dylan’s behaviour becomes increasingly challenging, Kelda seeks answers in the house’s mysterious past. But she’s running out of time.
Because something has awoken.
And now it won’t rest . . .

A real pageturner with pressure mounting to the very end. Carly Reagon makes writing scares look easy.
A book that feels like it's watching you as you read it... an unsettling and gripping ghost story that'll have you looking over your shoulder until the end!
Sinister from the get-go, THE TOLL HOUSE is a belter of a ghost story. A novel where two families, 150 years apart, navigate living in a house where grief and murder have bled into the walls. I loved it.
An edge-of-the-seat, nail-biting read. I loved it.
I hoovered this up in one go. It's perfect for the spooky season. Be prepared for some seriously good twists.
A satisfyingly good old-fashioned ghost story that brilliantly echoes the likes of Susan Hill with an originality all of its own. Perfect for a spooky autumnal read.
Tons of spooky fun ... will definitely provide you with some shivery chills and a pleasurable sense of mounting doom.
Pacy and page-turning this, dual timeline, ghost story will keep you up long after the witching hour - if you dare
If you like a good ghost story put this chilling thriller to the very top of your reading list
Carly Reagon's genre-blending debut is perfect for fans of psychological thrillers looking for some supernatural chills. Past crimes, present fears, secrets & lingering threat had me turning those final pages late into the night.
This sinister thriller will chill you to your very core
A beautifully written tale of hauntings, grief, and the stories folded in old houses. Carly Reagon is one to watch.
