Catherine Cavendish

    Catherine Cavendish crée de la fiction d'horreur, explorant fréquemment des thèmes fantomatiques, surnaturels, gothiques et de maisons hantées. Ses récits explorent des secrets sombres cachés dans des lieux apparemment idylliques, des chalets côtiers aux domaines historiques. Elle situe souvent ses histoires dans des décors rudes comme les landes du Yorkshire ou des environnements urbains atmosphériques tels que la vieille ville d'Édimbourg. Ses romans mettent fréquemment en scène des personnages sinistres dont les obsessions persistent au-delà de la tombe, mêlant des éléments d'histoire et de mythologie, en particulier avec un clin d'œil à l'Égypte ancienne.
