What this book is about
Kara is staying at her uncle's peculiar taxidermy museum while her marriage falls apart. When a hole appears in the wall, she and her friend Simon explore — and find a world of flooded corridors and silent, wrong-shaped things watching from the willows. Kingfisher's most effective horror.
