Books like The House at Midnight by Lucie Whitehouse
Lucas Heathfield inherits the sprawling Stoneborough Manor in Oxfordshire following the tragic suicide of his successful art‑dealer uncle. Seeking an escape from London, he gathers a tight circle of friends for a New Year’s stay. Their plans are disrupted when Lucas confesses his love for Joanna, a revelation that everyone had long suspected. As the days progress, the house’s strange influence surfaces: Lucas becomes haunted by his uncle’s death and obsessive over old films documenting the manor’s residents three decades earlier. These reels reveal concealed aspects of Lucas’s family history, while the group’s dynamics falter under the weight of secrets, sexual tension, and growing mistrust. By the end, the manor’s mysteries irrevocably reshape their relationships and futures.
