If what gripped you in The Whitby Witches was how the Lords of the Deep and Whitby’s folklore spill into Ben and Jennet’s daily lives, you’ll love how the Mabinogion legend of Blodeuwedd coils itself around Alison, Gwyn, and Roger in The Owl Service. Plates with an owl pattern awaken an old curse, and—much like Ben’s second sight and his bond with Nelda—teenagers find themselves repeating an ancient story that refuses to stay buried.

If you reveled in Whitby’s lanes, tides, and the secret culture of the Aufwaders, The Dark Is Rising conjures that same dense sense of place. As Will Stanton discovers he’s one of the Old Ones, signs and traditions woven into the Thames Valley—Herne the Hunter, carols, midwinter rites—unfurl into a hidden world, much as Miss Boston’s genteel routines mask the town’s witchy undercurrents.

If you liked how Ben, Jennet, and Miss Boston piece together the Whitby coven’s secrets, you’ll click with Lockwood & Co. Lucy Carlyle, Anthony Lockwood, and George investigate lethal hauntings—culminating in the trap-laden Combe Carey Hall—using nerve, clues, and iron discipline. It’s that same blend of youthful courage and spooky investigation that drove the search behind the Lords of the Deep’s shadow.

If the darker edges of The Whitby Witches—sacrifices to the Lords of the Deep, threats stalking Whitby’s shore—hooked you, Coraline channels that same chill. Coraline crosses a small door into the Other Mother’s world where love is imitation and safety a trap, echoing the way danger lurks behind the ordinary in Ben and Jennet’s seaside refuge.

If you enjoyed how real-world Whitby hides sorcery—Ben’s visions, Miss Boston’s quiet vigilance, and the Aufwaders—Delaney’s tale grounds witchcraft in hedgerows and hamlets. Tom Ward trains under the Spook to bind boggarts and battle witches like Mother Malkin, mirroring the way Whitby’s cobbles concealed a war most townsfolk never saw.
