Seth Loomis survived the horrors of Ravenmeols Mental Hospital. But surviving was only the beginning.
Haunted by nightmares and struggling to make sense of what happened, Seth is desperate to put the past behind him. Then his uncle is murdered, leaving him an unexpected inheritance: a sprawling Victorian house in Southport, with a basement full of dangerous occult artefacts.
And something is missing from the collection.
A painting.
Its subject is disturbing enough—two monstrous figures emerging from a dark woodland, their eyes burning red. But the painting is more than a work of art. Something lives within it, and someone is prepared to kill to possess it.
As Seth investigates his uncle’s death, he finds himself drawn back into the world he thought he’d escaped. With the help of Judy Doyle, another survivor of Ravenmeols, he begins to uncover a trail of secrets that leads towards an enemy he believed was dead.
But the shadows are growing stronger, and the boundary between the living world and the darkness beyond is becoming dangerously thin.
Seth has spent his life seeing things other people cannot. Now he must face something even he doesn’t understand.
Because some darkness cannot be contained.
And some things should never be brought into the light.
All the Darkness is Alive is the second novel in Dark Corners, a paranormal horror series where the dead are restless, the shadows are watching, and the past never stays buried.
