The Silent Companions this winter, and send a shiver down your
spine... Newly married, newly widowed Elsie is sent to see out her
pregnancy at her late husband's crumbling country estate, The
Bridge. With her new servants resentful and the local villagers
actively hostile, Elsie only has her husband's awkward cousin for
company. Or so she thinks. For inside her new home lies a locked
room, and beyond that door lies a two-hundred-year-old diary and a
deeply unsettling painted wooden figure - a Silent Companion - that
bears a striking resemblance to Elsie herself...
