MOORSIDE HOUSE &
The Series of Silence
Nestled in the Lancashire countryside, Moorside House is a Grade II listed period home with over 200 years of history. Overlooking Pendle Hill and the Altham canal, it was once the childhood home of pioneering suffragist Lydia Becker. Today, its legacy continues through The Series of Silence, a haunting collection of psychological thriller books inspired by the house and its secrets.
