A brutal murder. A seaside village drenched in fog. A vile history . . .
Aaron Andrews, a newly-minted doctor, returns to the village of Aetherton to take up his late father's practice. Hopes of easing into his new role and restoring the local clinic are dashed, however, when the disfigured body of a child is discovered in an empty flowerbed. Working closely with Evander Cochrane, the village's sole law enforcement officer, Andrews is forced to admit that the girl's death is anything but natural.
The deeper Andrews and Cochrane dive into the grisly crime, the more they learn about the village's sordid history. Though pleasant and easygoing on the surface, Aetherton's past holds many things—some of them remarkably dark. The village is soon visited by a powerful storm, leaving it without power or access to the outside world.
When the seaside village becomes entombed with fog, something begins to walk its footpaths and haunt its shores—something that should not exist . . .
The Possession is a tale of supernatural horror by Ambrose Ibsen, author of The Haunting of Beacon Hill and The House of Long Shadows.
