Welcome to

Danielle Wynter Batts

Danielle Wynter Batts writes atmospheric Gothic and ghostly fiction set along the windswept coasts of England, blending mystery, romance, and the supernatural. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the south coast — where she lives — her stories explore history, myth, legend, and the thin veil between the living and the dead.

On the haunted edges of the Sussex coast, where the marsh swallows secrets and storms carve truth from the cliffs, ghost stories linger longer than footprints. Saltwinds Lanterns is a gothic ghost story novella set on the Sussex marshes, blending local folklore, restless spirits, and the quiet dread of a town built on buried sins.

Written and published by indie author Danielle Wynter Batts, this tale opens The Winchelsea Veil series—stories rooted in Sussex folklore, paranormal mystery, and the eerie beauty of the English coast.

If you’re drawn to haunted landscapes, restless spirits, and slow‑burn gothic storytelling, step into the marsh. Some ghosts here walk with lanterns. And some lanterns never go out.

The Winchelsea Veil Series

Gothic Ghostly Sussex Tales

The Winchelsea Veil series is a collection of atmospheric, folklore‑rich ghost stories set along the haunted coastlines and forgotten villages of Sussex. Each book stands alone, yet all are bound by the same shiver of salt‑wind, old superstition, and the thin, trembling veil between the living and the dead.

From cursed orchards and lantern‑lit shorelines to drowned villages and wind‑torn marshes, these tales blend gothic romance, local legend, and slow‑burn supernatural dread. Every story reveals another corner of Sussex where history refuses to stay buried — and where the past still walks at dusk.

Haunting, intimate, and steeped in the eerie beauty of the English coast, The Winchelsea Veil series invites readers into a world where ghosts linger, secrets fester, and the land itself remembers.
