Benedict Patrick is a Northern Irish author who writes fantasy. This is somewhat dark but is suitable for older YAs and the second book, which I have read, is set in a South Sea Island environment.
Recently he made
They Mostly Come Out At Night

available discounted / download. I think it would be a nice spooky read.

Octocon is on in October and a SF&F pick suits!
The Irish National SF Con for those who are unsure.

I have a couple ideas but I don't know which one to nominate, any suggestions to which or neither would be welcome.
This House is Haunted but it could be similar to The Uninvited. I haven't read either one just going by the fact they seem to be ghost stories ,I plan on reading This House is Haunted this month.
The other one is Unraveling Oliver

Colleen, both look interesting.

I've read both and you are right that [book:This House is Haunted is a ghost story and is set in England, like The Uninvited. But in THIH, the house is itself appears and disappears.

Thanks I’m really leaning toward This House is Haunted because I love John Boyne’s novels , maybe it would be fun to compare and contrast ? I haven’t read The uninvited but plan to within in the next three months .
