The Celia Rees Supernatural Trilogy consists of three books published in quick succession in 2002: City of Shadows, A Trap in Time, and The Host Rides Out. The trilogy follows a connected supernatural storyline that builds across all three volumes, with each book raising the stakes for its young protagonists.
Rees brings the same atmospheric writing from her other horror work to this trilogy, creating a sustained narrative that gives her more room to develop both her characters and her supernatural world than a standalone book would allow. The trilogy format lets the tension build gradually across the three installments.
