How much would you pay to survive? Mum-of-three Ronni Ashcroft had just pieced her life back together after her husband left. On a remote spur of the Scottish Highlands, she kept her successful guest house going and even met a new man, Bishop. But it turned out that Bishop had secrets. He had shady connections and shadier plans to use the coastal town as a European gateway for drugs, guns – and something far worse. Now he's disappeared, and Ronnie wants answers.

In the heart of rural Hampshire, the small town of Clevedon has always been a place where residents look out for each other, and neighbors ensure a warm welcome is given to newcomers. When a secret chamber is discovered in the basement of a recently deceased Professor of Egyptology, the contents prove to be more than mere artifacts and trinkets. Hidden within lies the sarcophagus of a mummy, Anlet-Un-Ri. A warrior and leader of the Pharaoh’s army, her death remains a mystery to this day.

When Catherine Porter murders her only son and takes her own life, no one can understand why. Vilified for her crimes, she becomes synonymous with everything evil and wicked amongst the locals, and parents begin using her name to scare their errant children into behaving.

Over the years, the sightings continue, sending most of the house's occupants running from the property, screaming into the night, never to return.

After bank manager Jonathan Ward inherits an old manor, strange things begin to happen. During his first night at the property, a beautiful young woman appears outside his door, pleading for help.

Something evil lurks in the woods, on the outskirts of town. It lives in the shadows and strikes without warning, always with the same objective: to mutilate, kill and devour its victim.

No victim is left alive, and the scattered remains divulge very little to the police pathologist.
