Books like The drowning pool by Syd Moore


Relocated to a seaside town, widowed teacher Sarah Grey is slowly rebuilding her life with her young son Alfie. One drunken night, an inadvertent séance awakens frightening visions that they cannot ignore. As the haunting deepens, Sarah learns that the specter may be the long‑supposed local witch of the 19th century, a figure steeped in local legend and folklore. Digging into old letters and historic accounts, she discovers that the boundaries between history and the supernatural are far thinner than she imagined—perhaps even the ghost she once believed was hers. The story blends coastal atmosphere, family dynamics, and the chilling pull of old folklore, leaving readers to question what is real and what is a tale told in the margins of history.
