The only thing more dangerous than her imagination is when it refuses to stay on the page.

When budding novelist Ev Cawthorne inherits the isolated marshland house of Rookmere, she decides it's the right time to finish writing her books. Her autistic mind thrives on connections and multiple stories, and she needs to get back to herself.

But while simultaneously working on two manuscripts—a prison horror and a children's adventure—reality begins to warp as her characters cross pages and immerge in her waking life. Her creations insist the books are their canvas as much as hers.

And then the Dunwich area of Suffolk reels with mysterious bodies, children trapped in nightmares, and police officers vanishing without a trace. Ev is the conduit. The wall between fiction and reality has thinned, and only her writing can close it.

But at what cost?

Fans of "The Cottage" by Lisa Stone, "Secret Window (Four Past Midnight) by Stephen King, and "Don't Look Back" by Ben Cheetham will enjoy "The Other Story."
