"Lee creates an atmosphere of unease and foreboding that culminates in explosive violence and terror. Rife with frightening imagery, ghosts, and visceral horror, this tale will please the most ardent of horror fans." – Booklist

Mike Carter and his girlfriend Helen, along with their friends Alex and Kay, travel to a remote loch side cottage for a post-graduation holiday. But their celebrations are short-lived when they hit and kill a stag on the road. Alex s sister Meggie awaits them in the cottage, adding to the tension when her dog, Oscar, goes missing. Mike becomes haunted by a disturbing presence in the cottage, and is hunted by threatening figures in the highland fog. Reeling from a shock revelation, Mike begins to lose his grip on his sanity. As the dark secrets of the past conspire to destroy the bonds of friendship, Mike must uncover the terrifying truth dwelling within the walls of Hearthstone Cottage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nightmarish and intriguing
Reviewed in Australia on 24 January 2020
Wonderfully atmospheric, the book spirals ever more into twisted nightmares. A little disorientating at times (at one point I was sure I'd missed a chapter) it is nonetheless a highly intriguing and hard to put down.

3.0 out of 5 stars Horror set in the Highlands

Well-written but distressing story of Mike and his girlfriend and friends, celebrating the completion of their university degrees with a trip to a house in the Highlands in Scotland. Unfortunately the cottage is haunted/cursed, and things go very badly wrong for Mike. This was scary and disturbing. Let’s just say I won’t reread it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This novel took me by surprise!
Reviewed in the United States on 8 January 2023

When I picked this novel from my tbr (to be read) list I don't know what I was expecting but for a novel set in Scotland it had all the haunting Celtic elements that I love. At first it seemed to be a psychological thriller, sort of like the first time I read Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. I love the genre of horror but became jaded by reading so much of it from an early age. All is presented from Mike's perception and a lot of it could be his overuse of smoking weed and drinking excessively. Most could be attributed to hallucinations and a bit of paranoia. Then it threw me a few curves that had me reflecting on the movie The Sixth Sense, and I started to look for certain elements. When all was said and done I loved how the novel ended. It's difficult to write a review without giving away what happens so I leave it to you to decide. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who loves horror!

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit unsure of where it wanted to go...
Reviewed in the United States on 12 January 2023

..but overall a pretty good read. The story of two couples on a holiday to one man's family cottage in the Scottish highlands after they've graduated from university. The main character is an annoying pothead (IMO) and the story revolves around him. Elements of old Celtic folklore are components as well as an old-fashioned ghost story. In fact one character turns out to be a ghost. I was a little disappointed to find the story had the "wisecracking, sarcastic villagers vs. the naive city kids" trope but I suppose the old villager men and their teasing helped enhance feelings of paranoia in the central character. The book has plenty of horrific and supernatural imagery but I didn't think it was an overwhelming or especially gory amount, and it can be skimmed through for readers who are sensitive and still be able to follow the storyline.
