""In This City Where It Rains is a novella brimming with unsettling imagery, set in a city where it's always raining and ghosts haunt the shadows. There's a family curse, a haunted house and moths that just might give you nightmares - what more could you want? It's always a pleasure losing myself in the strange, sinister workings of Croal's mind."" - Angie Spoto, author of The Grief Nurse and The Bone Diver ""A beautifully haunting tale about grief and letting go. In this City, Where it Rains is a distinctive and evocative gothic novella, rich in atmosphere and place - I loved it."" Laura Elliott, author of Awakened ""A gothic mansion full of occult secrets and old cruelties, a city where the rain always falls and people never leave. Lyndsey Croal's novella is a haunting, claustrophobic story, a slow unravelling of truths as Maggie Fall, a bartender who can see ghosts in the rain, runs into a man who has the same abilities that she does, and is invited into ruined Tair House to discover the truth about who she is and what happened to her family. Only, Tair House remembers Maggie, and it's hungry for the freedom Maggie unknowingly brings with her. Reading this story is like walking through Edinburgh alone in the night rain, with secret histories underfoot, and spectres in the doorways. Highly recommended for fans of classic, creeping gothic fiction, who love atmospheric, evocative stories with a healthy dose of arcane horror."" CL Hellisen, author of The Shape of Monsters ""A wonderful, weird, reality slip of a book. Croal leads us into an uncanny place where everything sends a shiver down the spine and even the most familiar of places feels strange. A wholly unique story and one that lingers long after the last page is turned."" Sam K. Horton, author of Gorse and Ragwort.

""Buried secrets seep through a surreal alternate Edinburgh in this twisty and ultimately hopeful haunted-house tale, imbued with themes of memory, grief, and a heartfelt search for belonging. Lyndsey Croal's writing drips with atmosphere, evoking the disquieting feeling of a half-remembered dream."" - Ren Hutchings, author of Under Fortunate Stars and The Legend Liminal ""Gormemghast vibes in modern day Edinburgh. In This City, Where it Rains had me breathless from the first sentence. Evocative, mesmerising, and mysterious, this is a novella that will live rent free in my brain for a long time. The mystery elements are handled perfectly to feed just enough information to set your brain spinning. If you enjoy Gothic settings with supernatural mysteries and a main character with a hidden past, you have to pick up this book.- Alethea Lyons, author of Seer of York books.
