The McTavish Chronicles

Some places refuse to forget.

Haunted manors. Storm-swept islands. Ancient estates where the dead have not yet finished speaking. Author Coby McTavish has never gone looking for ghosts — but somehow, they always find him.

Across five novels set against the brooding landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, The McTavish Chronicles blend gothic atmosphere, dark humour, family drama, and supernatural mystery into a series that readers describe as impossible to put down and impossible to forget.

Each title stands alone. Together, they tell a larger story — of a family drawn repeatedly into the dark, and of the restless dead who need them there.
