Helen Fairley

The Soul Collector

When siblings Sam and Jude are forced to leave London for a quiet village in the countryside due to their mother's illness, they expect boredom and isolation. But the village isn’t as peaceful as it seems. Next to their new home is an old graveyard with dark secrets.

One night, Sam sees strange flashing lights in the graveyard. He realises the village has mysteries waiting to be solved. Sam and Jude team up to uncover a mystery that has haunted the village for centuries.

Can they help the spirits that wander the village? Can they stop the monster who’s collecting souls?

With time running out, Sam, Jude, and their friends must act quickly to solve the puzzle before the Soul Collector claims his next victim.

Helen Fairley is a primary school teacher and journalist who lives in rural Kent with her husband, two children, two cats and a Labrador. Prior to teaching, Helen spent over a decade working for local newspapers. Her home situated close to a graveyard in Pluckley—recognised by the Guinness Book of Records in 1989 as Britain’s most haunted village—and her passion for ghost stories inspired her to write her debut novel, The Soul Collector.
