"Readers will adore the sweet subtlety of the romance surrounded by twists and turns, and will definitely be haunted by that ending long after the last page is turned."

"The Haunting of William Thorn is a queer horror masterpiece. Alderson blends the classic ominous and sinister haunted house ghost story with an important tale of healing and grief. The winding narratives of past and present create an atmospheric narrative driven by imperfect, and incredibly relatable, characters. It’s absolutely unputdownable. I had to know what would happen next!"
– Alexandra Kennington, author of Blood Beneath the Snow
"This twisty, propulsive haunted house horror that’s as dread-inducing and heart-wrenching as it is romantic. Ben Alderson’s ghosts are terrifying, desperate, and indelibly human. If grief is love with nowhere to go, there’s room for it within Hanbury Manor — and the pages of William Thorn. Alderson enters the horror genre with purpose and finesse."
– Isa Agajanian, author of Modern Divination
