The Hanging Rail

Liberated from a corrosive relationship, Wendy begins the difficult task of rebuilding her life. But an impulse purchase of the latest must-have fashion accessory, a trans-dimensional wardrobe, drags her back into the dark shadows of her troubled past. There must be a fault with her product, because it is only supposed to have one door, not two; and that second door is certainly not supposed to be thousands of years old. And it definitely is not supposed to let anyone or anything through into her world.
As Wendy wrestles with the dual threats to her soul and her sanity, a mysterious visitor raises uncomfortable questions that challenge her narrative as a survivor of childhood abuse. Withdrawing into the suffocating fog of her own personal nightmare, Wendy must find a way to resolve the enigma of the resurrected guest sharing her home and the demon stalking them both before her soul is dragged off through an ancient portal only she can see.
To do this, she must open her eyes to a tormented past and confront the horrors that promise to smother her future. No easy task when someone she recognised as another innocent victim, a kindred spirit, threatens to hurt her from beyond the grave. With time running out, Wendy must stand her ground if she is to vanquish the ghosts of her childhood. Until that happens, there will always be plenty of space waiting for her on the hanging rail.
For those readers who enjoyed the Dark Hearts Short Story Collection, this spine-chilling novella will linger long into another restless, sleepless night.
