A house may not start haunted…but it can become haunted. Over the decades, the occupants of Number 20 have noticed that their house, stood in the corner of a London square, feels a little more alive than most: whispers in the walls, a secret in the cellar, the growing sense that no one truly leaves… And for each of the characters in this book – Connie, Hedda, Orlaith, Teddy and Maud – the house seems to understand their deepest desires. In every story is a wish for more – but what might too much wishing unleash? Drawing from classic ghost stories and enlivening them with themes of identity, desire and queer revelations, Eleanor Crewes makes the haunted house tale her own.
