Book Description 

…Desperate to rekindle her love of writing, Maggie rents an old house in Cornwall. She expects dust and cobwebs, but not a silence that seems to listen. From the moment she crosses the threshold, the rooms seem to lean closer, the walls brimming with a presence that knows her name before she can speak it aloud.

 What begins as unease deepens into an obsession.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

A cradle waits in the attic, carved with letters that seem to twist when she looks too long. A lullaby drifts through the dark, tender and terrible, coaxing her to surrender the last fragments of herself.

As the house closes in, Maggie is forced to fight not for escape alone, but for her very identity. To survive, she must hold on to the one thing the house cannot claim…

Atmospheric and relentless, The Lost Lullaby is a slow-burning ghost story about memory, hunger, and the fragile line between haunting and possession…
