“I think if you’re going to write a ghost story... you must experience ghosts for yourself.”

In 1865 Henry Webster joins the notorious London Ghost Club, hoping to meet and be inspired by Charles Dickens. There he meets Edward Price who draws Henry into investigating a haunting at his own lodging house, belonging to the widowed Mia Sands. At night, the ghosts of two young children wander the house in search of light and safety - while fearing what waits for them in the darkness.

But why would a ghost be afraid of the dark?
