A haunted honeymoon. A descent into madness.When London banker Frank marries Joy, a spirited young Thai woman with dreams of sun-soaked Spain, a borrowed apartment in Fuengirola seems like the perfect wedding gift. Calle Goya is an ordinary residential street near Los Boliches, the kind of place tourists walk past without a second glance. But beneath its quiet surface lies something far older and stranger: an elite Norwegian society, bound by ritual and secrecy, obsessed with the dark genius of painter Francisco de Goya, and with a hidden property on the very street that bears his name.Unbeknownst to them, the couple has stumbled into an initiation ritual already in motion. Joy, sensitive and deeply intuitive, is the first to feel it: a presence watching from the shadows of the apartment. Unease curdles into terror, and terror gives way to something harder to reverse - the slow, believable unravelling of a mind that no longer trusts what it sees. As her dreams turn to nightmares, their honeymoon becomes a fight for sanity itself.From the shadowed corridors of a remote castle on Norway’s Lake Mjøsa to the superstitious heart of rural northern Thailand, Frank is drawn into a web of secrets, suspicion, and centuries-old loyalties he barely understands. Even the society’s presiding figure, the aristocratic Baron Sedolfsen, defies easy judgement - courtly and strangely kind, a reminder that not everyone circling the danger is part of it. When help finally arrives, from a source neither of them expected, the true cost of their ordeal becomes clear, and nothing will ever be the same again.A gripping supernatural thriller exploring the thin veil between cultural reverence and obsession, and the older, quieter horror of watching someone’s grip on reality give way.The Ghouls of Calle Goya has been in bookshops for five to six years and published in 19 languages, with audiobooks available in several. It is part of Owen Jones’s Costa del Sol Collection, alongside Andropov’s Cuckoo and Daisy’s Chain.
