Hardstone Jail was once one of Britain's toughest and most notorious prisons. Having stood empty for many years, the jail is brought back into use for incarcerated women, and it's soon full again. However, one presence from Hardstone Jail's past is still lurking in the shadows, many years after her death.

The ghost of a young girl walks the jail's corridors, desperate for revenge. Soon the inmates are swapping terrifying stories about the girl, warning each other that they must never look into her eyes.

When Amanda Weir is sent to Hardstone Jail for a crime she doesn't remember committing, she discovers that the ghost isn't the only danger. Someone is conducting horrific experiments on the prisoners, as a sinister unseen force threatens to cause a new tragedy within the jail's walls.

Originally published as The Prison, The Haunting of Hardstone Jail is a horror novel about a girl's need for vengeance, and about a woman's desperate attempt to work out whether she committed a terrible crime.
