'Hauntingly creepy' - ERIN KELLY'A unique jewel of a book' - LIZZY BARBER'A heartfelt and
chilling gothic tragedy' - CHRIS WHITAKERPeople come to visit my home and I love to show them
around. It's not the original house of course. That was destroyed the day my entire family
died. But I don't think their ghosts know the difference. Pera Sinclair was nine the day the
pilot intentionally crashed his plane into her family's grand home killing everyone inside.
She was the girl who survived the tragedy a sympathetic oddity growing stranger by the day.
Over the decades she rebuilt the huge and rambling building on the original site recreating
what she had lost each room telling a piece of the story of her life and that of the many
people who died there both before and after the disaster. Her sister murdered a hundred miles
away. The soldier broken by war. Death follows Pera and she welcomes it in as an old friend.
And while she doesn't believe in ghosts she's not above telling a ghost story or two to those
who come to visit Sinclair House. As Pera shows a young family around her home on the last
haunted house tour of the season an unexpected group of men arrive. One she recognises but
the others are strangers. But she knows their type all too well. Dangerous men who will hurt
the family without a second thought and who will keep an old woman alive only so long as she
is useful. But as she begins to show them around her home and reveal its secrets the dangerous
men will learn that she is far from helpless. After all death seems to follow her wherever she
goes... Sinister and lyrical The Underhistory is a haunting tale of loss self-preservation
and the darkness beneath.
