Description
Five years ago, Hannah Doggett’s father went on a rampage with a chainsaw. He killed Hannah’s mother and sister, and he would have killed Hannah too if she hadn’t managed to defend herself at the last moment. Now horribly scarred, Hannah Doggett is said to live a reclusive life on the farm, never venturing out and never meeting anyone.
Until today.
Lured onto the property by a chance to steal some scrap metal, three local men are about to discover the horrific truth about the farm. Convinced that Hannah’s watching their every move, they nevertheless dare one another to go closer and closer to the farmhouse itself, until a fateful accident leaves them trapped inside. That’s when they start hearing strange noises, and they soon discover that Hannah has kept a few reminders of her ordeal. But that’s not all, because Hannah—and Doggett Farm—would seem to be hiding an even more horrifying secret.
Bait is the first in a series of books about the terrible forces that lurk on a remote English farm. Hannah Doggett isn’t the first person whose family died in the farmhouse, but is more blood about to spill?

Mac Doggett moved his family from the City (London) to the country Mud Flats. He, his wife and two daughters were going to live close to nature. Grow their own food, instead of getting plastic containers at the super-mart. Mac figured it would be a great new start for his family. Getting away from all the over crowding and foul air.
He just couldn’t believe his good fortune. If it wasn’t for the tragedy that happened to the last family he never would have been able to afford the farm. As they were unloading the car he dropped the hint that there was something unsavory attached to the previous owners. But their bad luck was his great fortune. His wife asked him to explain what the big secret was. He told her the previous man ran amuck and killed his entire family and then took his life.
The chainsaw he used was sitting on the table when they moved in. His wife demanded he move the saw out into the barn and lock it in the cabinet so the girls would not be hurt. Mac’s daughter Hannah used to stand at her window at night and just gauze across the fields until she got sleepy. Lately after the family had retired she would see her father leave the house and go into the barn. Where he would spend most of the night. Also, Hannah noticed a drastic change in her father’s moods. What could be causing the change?
