The Pool House (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258233332)

Publisher: Solstice Publishing

When the Miller family moves into a quaint Victorian home on the edge of a quiet town, ten-year-old Ben is the first to sense that something isn't right. The house is old, yes - full of creaks, shadows, and the scent of forgotten stories - but it's the pool house, a miniature replica tucked deep in the overgrown garden, that calls to him most. Inside, dust-covered toys, brittle books, and a lingering sadness hint at a childhood long abandoned.

At first, it feels magical. A secret hideaway. A kingdom of his own. But as night falls, the whispers begin.
Soft at first - "Ben, come play..." - then unmistakably real. The toys seem to watch him. The shadows move when they shouldn't. And one night, a pale, translucent boy appears in the darkness, his eyes filled with a loneliness that chills Ben to the bone. As the whispers grow bolder and the spectral child draws nearer, Ben realizes the truth: the pool house isn't just haunted. It's waiting.

And it has chosen him.

Now, trapped between fear and a strange, unexplainable connection to the ghostly boy, Ben must uncover the tragic secret buried in the garden before the whispers claim him forever.
