Book Two in The Maplewood Horrors Series
A Supernatural Horror Thriller
Vengeance has risen. And it wears a name the town tried to forget... Maplewood is no longer safe. The shadows are spreading. The blood has already been spilt. Veronica Mayfield has awakened—ripped from death, her soul sewn back into a decaying corpse full of rage. The once-executed witch now walks among the living, wielding vengeance like a blade, and she's not alone. Beneath Maplewood Lake, her family stirs. Broken hearts. Shattered oaths. And the coven's cruel chant echoed once more. But something isn't right. As the resurrected witches seek to reclaim what was stolen, a more sinister truth seeps through the cracks of the town's forgotten history: What if Maplewood didn't intend to fear witches… what if someone made sure it did? While the twins survived the 'Ferryman' grapple with unravelling powers, cursed bloodlines, and a shifting reality. The hunt begins—for the Elemental Stones, scattered and hidden, bound to the town's fate and the secrets it has buried. As nightmares blur into waking life and the dead whisper from the ashes, five chosen teens are thrust into a deadly game of survival. If they fail, the coven will rise unbound, and The Never will consume everything. Yet, a terrifying doubt lingers. Is the 'Ferryman' really dead? COVEN is the explosive continuation of The Darkness of Thorne House, a brutal and immersive descent into supernatural terror, blending atmospheric horror with witchcraft, elemental forces, and the chilling realisation that evil isn't only born—sometimes, it's created.

The Darkness of Thorne House
Book One of The Maplewood Horrors
The house is awake. The Ferryman is hunting. And the bloodline of witches is calling them home.
For thirty years, the town of Maplewood, Maine, has buried its darkest secrets, but six brave souls rose against a coven of witches and warlocks and burned them into legend. But evil doesn’t die.
It waits.
Thorne House—the coven’s decaying lair—stirs. Whispers echo through the woods. Shadows stalk the dreams of the living. And something ancient has returned to finish what was started.
When sixteen-year-old twins Jenny and Nicholas Rickman move into Maplewood, they think they’re escaping their past. Instead, they’re running straight into it. Because they’re not just new in town—they’re the last heirs of the Ashbourne line, an infamous bloodline tied to the town’s most horrifying history. And Thorne House knows they’re here.
As Jenny deteriorates—rapidly aging from a supernatural force within the house—Nicholas is hunted by the Ferryman, a demonic entity with blood-red eyes and a vendetta that spans generations. What begins as flickers of horror turns into a full-blown nightmare as the twins, along with siblings Caleb and Florence Carlisle and their haunted friend Eddie, are dragged into a war that never ended… only lies dormant.
As murders mount and ancient symbols appear, the original Secret Six are forced out of hiding. But the darkness has already rooted itself deep into Maplewood—and it wants the Ashbourne twins most of all.
With a grandmother harbouring secrets, a warlock clawing his way back from the grave, and a demon living between sleep and death, the fight to survive becomes a race against time. If the house takes Jenny, the Ferryman wins. If Nicholas breaks, the town burns.
Sinister, atmospheric, and unrelenting, The Darkness of Thorne House is a haunting new gothic horror thriller in which cursed bloodlines, demonic nightmares, and buried magic collide. It is perfect for fans of Stephen King, The Haunting of Hill House, and The Conjuring universe.
The house is hungry. The Ferryman is watching. And the Ashbourne twins are just the beginning.
