Daniel is desperate for a fresh start at life, so when someone slides a note under his door offering him the groundskeeper's position at an old estate, it seems too good to be true. Alarm bells start ringing when he arrives at Craven Manor. The mansion's front door hangs open, and leaves and cobwebs coat the marble foyer. It's clear no one has lived there in a long time...but he has nowhere else to go.

Against his better judgment, he moves into the groundskeeper's cottage behind the crypt. But when a candle flickers to life in the abandoned tower window, Daniel realizes Craven Manor is hiding a terrible secret…one that threatens to bury him with it

Coates Keeps Getting Better and Better

Reviewed in Australia on 9 June 2018

Verified Purchase

I have been a big fan of Darcy Coates for a while now, and I've read a lot of her books. Honestly, she keeps getting better and better. I really enjoyed this book.

The characters were endearing and believable (though there are some characters I wouldn't mind slapping), and the interactions between living and dead, natural and supernatural are, as always, one of Darcy's specialties.

There were a few things about this book I wasn't as keen on, but I can't really specify without spoiling anything, though it did present a very interesting take on a subject that is enduring in its popularity and fascination.

I will probably write a more detailed, proper review at some point, but I wanted to at least leave a few words. If you are interested in horror novels, especially ghost stories, I really do recommend Darcy Coates.

I quite enjoyed the book but found the ending a bit rushed and ruined. The cousin destroyed it. Was a great idea for a story.

Great Read

Reviewed in Australia on 4 November 2018

I have read two other books by this author and for me this book is the best read so far. It is an intriguing tale with a ghost, shape shifters and a young man with a high degree of empathy . I couldn't put this book down after I started reading it and hope there are more books from the author like this

I was originally thinking this book would descend into an ordinary vampire in the tower story. It did not, a very pleasant read.

A solid and entertaining haunted house horror.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2018

Craven Manor, by Darcy Coates, is my first read by this author, and is also my first review of 2018. I'm a subscriber to this author's newsletter, and finally decided to purchase this title to see, finally, what the fuss was all about.

Her writing style is extremely engaging, and in this story, it only focusses on a limited number of characters - Daniel, the young man who literally lives day to day, eeking out a living doing various jobs. His relative, Kyle, is more secure, allowing Daniel to stay at his place, but it's not without cost, as is anything a family member professes to do out of love, duty, or something else.

Fed up with this state of affairs, Daniel reluctantly takes up the post offered to him by the mysterious Bran - the man who apparently owes the manor of the title, but is rarely seen. In fact, a bony, malnourished cat makes more of an appearance than Bran does.

You'd think he would pay Daniel via Paypal, BACS or Bit Coin, but no, Bran pays using unusual and spectacular gold pieces, and as the atmosphere builds nicely, the mystery unfolds, literally piece by piece.

Daniel decides he actually can stay at the creepy manor even though Kyle is not too sure about that. Added the fact that Kyle gets more than a bit jealous of the gold pieces, the narrative builds with a crescendo, and it is here that the book kicks into overdrive.

I really like this genre, and I also write in this genre. So why four stars, and not five? Well, this is a very solid tale from Miss Coates. There's nothing really to fault, however, parts of the pace dropped off in the middle of the book, and even during the story's third and final act, but this was the first time I read this author's work, and I would like to read more.

Craven Manor grabs you - from the eerie cover, to the well drawn characters, to occasional snappy and fun dialogue. Daniel's fate remains uncertain throughout the story and this, if anything, is what will keep you reading.

If I re-read it, I may scale it up to five, but this reading tells me her vast army of readers are not wrong. Craven Manor is a solid, engaging, and engrossing horror tale. It sticks to the creeping horror instead of delivering shock value for shock value's sake.

I liked it. A lot.

Never agree to clear a overgrown garden

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2018

Verified Purchase

I have read a few of this authors books and consider them '' safe horror'' in other words not always scary , good stories but not sleep with the light on material.It was with interest that I read great reviews on this latest one. However the tension that was cranked up by half way soon fell to the side. The main character after being warned of impending doom if he broke 3 rules on entering Craven manor proceeded to do so with little or no punishment not what I was expecting.The main horror locked in the main tower could have been so much more but did not escalate into anything more than a poor attempt to keep the story on track.On saying this there were moments of fear and trepidation and for that I gave it 4 stars.

A very good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2018

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The relationship between the main characters is constantly changing and developing through the course of the story, and there are some twists that really keep you guessing. The backdrop to the story is quite dark - an old gothic manor lost in almost impenetrable woods- but the characters add a warmth and depth that keeps the tale from becoming depressing. If you enjoy a supernatural tale with twists and turns I would highly recommend this.
