A mesmerizing novel...what begins as a gothic ghost story
soon evolves into a wickedly twisted treasure hunt in
The Supernatural Enhancements, Edgar
Cantero's wholly original, modern-day adventure. When twentysomething A., the European relative of the Wells
family, inherits a beautiful, yet eerie, estate set deep in
the woods of Point Bless, Virginia, it comes as a surprise
to everyone—including A. himself. After all, he never knew
he had a "second cousin, twice removed" in America, much
less that his eccentric relative had recently committed
suicide by jumping out of the third floor bedroom window—at
the same age and in the same way as his father had before
him . . . Together with A.’s companion, Niamh, a mute teenage punk
girl from Ireland, they arrive in Virginia and quickly come
to feel as if they have inherited much more than just a
rambling home and an opulent lifestyle. Axton House is
haunted... they know it...but the presence of a ghost is
just the first of a series of disturbing secrets they slowly
uncover. What led to the suicides? What became of the Axton
House butler who fled shortly after his master died? What
lurks in the garden maze – and what does the basement vault
keep? Even more troubling, what of the rumors in town about
a mysterious yearly gathering at Axton House on the night of
the winter solstice? Told vividly through a series of journal entries, cryptic
ciphers, recovered security footage, and letters to a
distant Aunt Liza, Edgar Cantero has written an absorbing,
kinetic and highly original supernatural adventure with
classic horror elements that introduces readers to a
deviously sly and powerful new voice.
