On a freezing night just before Christmas, a woman steps into the path of an oncoming train – and the nightmare that follows spreads far beyond the lonely English station where she dies.

As emergency crews struggle to clear the scene, a web of chilling encounters begins to unfold.

In a decaying pub, a shattered train driver drowns in guilt. A nearby bystander, who snapped a photo of the tragedy, finds himself stalked by something he can’t quite see. A cleanup technician senses he isn’t alone in the darkness, while a mortuary attendant’s greedy impulse invites a terrifying consequence.

Along the railway line, an irate commuter lashes out at a worker – only to come face-to-face with his worst fear. A woman answers a late-night phone call and realizes her caller may not be among the living. Even a fox scavenging by the tracks uncovers something it should never have found.

All these lives… all these horrors… and all of them trace back to a forgotten family trip to the seaside fifteen years ago.

By dawn, the spectral presence of Sophie Winter will have left her mark on everyone touched by the night’s events.

Some will escape. Some will not.

Because Sophie is no longer seeking help – she’s seeking vengeance.

Ten Ghosts of Sophie Winter is a horror novel about the dangers of mixing with the dead, the rippling waves that spread out from one awful incident to another, and the anger of a woman who believes her life has been cut far too short.
