S1 E3: Behind the Book – Still Echoes
Join Ste and Dave for a deep dive into Ste's first novel on Marauder Books, Still Echoes.
"She helped to kill her husband. Now someone is trying to bring him back.
A year after her husband’s death, Madeline has secured the future she risked everything for — marrying his brother, Thomas, raising her infant child, and stepping into life as the mistress of Hallowfield House.
What no one knows is that her happiness was forged in betrayal, and sealed by murder.
But the past is not so easily silenced.
When Thomas’ mother returns with an enigmatic medium by her side, intent on summoning her dead son’s spirit, a quiet dread settles over the house. At first the seances seem little more than theatre.
Then the disturbances begin.
As her husband starts to change in ways she cannot understand, Madeline faces a horrifying thought: that the dead are not ready to let her go.
Still Echoes is a slow-burn Victorian gothic horror laced with paranoia, dread, and deception."
