The Gibbet Path

di Danielle Wynter Batts (Autore)

Danielle Wynter Batts, 2026

At the edge of the marsh, where the river bends and the reeds whisper, the old gibbet still stands. Its iron cage hangs empty now, but the wind remembers the weight it once carried — and the dead remember too. Sixteen-year-old Eliza Harrow has grown up beneath its shadow, pretending she does not hear the clink of bone that sometimes echoes across the mudflats at dusk. But when strange tides rise, when the air tastes of metal, and when the cages begin to rattle without a breeze, she knows the marsh is waking. And it is hungry for justice. As smugglers move under moonlight and old crimes stir in the silt, Eliza discovers that the dead who walk the Gibbet Path are not aimless. They are gathering. They are choosing. And they have not forgotten the living who wronged them. To save her brother — and herself — Eliza must face the procession of the marsh-dead and bargain with the most feared of them all: Black Jack, the tar-coated revenant whose final scream still clings to the iron cage. But the marsh never gives without taking. And once you step onto the Gibbet Path, the dead expect you to walk it to the end. A haunting, folklore-rich gothic tale set in the wind-torn marshes of Sussex, The Gibbet Path blends historical dread, coastal superstition, and the thin, trembling veil between justice and vengeance.
