Explore Beneath the VeilLatest novel
In a crumbling estate at the edge of the moors, a young woman uncovers a family secret that has waited generations to surface — and a presence that has waited just as long to be remembered. For readers of slow-burning gothic fiction with a haunting, literary edge.
D.Y Tailsen is a writer and artist drawn to old houses, half-told stories, and the quiet spaces where the living and the lost meet. Beneath the Veil is a debut novel years in the making — the first in what's planned as an ongoing body of work. When not writing, D.Y can usually be found [your real hobby, ritual, or inspiration here].
