Publisher's Synopsis
From the moment Edward Ruthyn begins his solitary walk in the familiar surroundings of his own time and space you'll find yourself unsettlingly led along with him; you too will stumble down his quiet country road and into "the dark passages of a ghastly other world"; you'll be entering a nightmare. For turreted Transylvanian castle read Home County England Victorian pile; for aortal blood and sharp toothed female followers read sex and sibling rivalry. You'll be driven to ravage this book in one sitting but be sure to keep all the house lights on at full blaze as you read. While the tale will convince, you'll welcome the return to your own reality. The language creates, in laced petticoats and country tweeds, a modern masterpiece of the gothic horror genre.
