The Librarian Heard Footsteps - Gripping Mystery at Esoteric Manor

Phileas Croft does not believe in ghosts.

A sceptical journalist with a reputation for finding rational explanations for supposedly supernatural events, he arrives at the isolated Esoteric Manor to investigate the disappearance of the eccentric scholar Lord Alastair Finch.

He expects family secrets.

He expects scandal.

He does not expect the library to know his name.

Within its labyrinth of forgotten books, volumes fall from untouched shelves, shadows move without bodies, pages turn in empty rooms and footsteps follow Phileas through corridors where no one else is walking. Hidden journals reveal that Alastair had become obsessed with the possibility of binding consciousness to a physical place—and that the Finch family have been living beside something for generations.

Then Phileas discovers the story of a vanished girl.

Lady Beatrix Finch disappeared inside the manor long before Alastair did.

And she may never have truly left.

As scepticism gives way to terrifying evidence, Phileas must uncover what happened inside Esoteric Manor before the presence haunting its library finishes what was begun centuries ago.

But every answer draws him closer to the same threshold that consumed Alastair.

And something on the other side has heard him coming.

The Librarian Heard Footsteps is an atmospheric Gothic supernatural mystery filled with haunted books, occult secrets, family curses, unexplained disappearances and the creeping terror of discovering that the impossible may simply be something we have not yet understood.

The library is waiting.
