Set high on a craggy cliff top on the wind-battered western coast of Scotland is a remote, secluded,ancient castle.A castle that holds secrets that would shake the world if they were ever revealed.
David Ash,ghost hunter and parapsychologist,is sent there to investigate a series of bizarre hauntings that have grown gradually more menacing and horrific: unaccountable noises, inexplicable putrid smells,the dimming of lights,deathly chills,and objects mysteriously flying across rooms.
But when a resident is found in his room,dead, pinned to the wall,only his viscous blood holding him in place,the investigator is all too aware that a powerful and dark force lurks within the castle's ancient walls,an incorporeal power fed by the evil of those who inhabit this sanctuary called Comraich Castle and ignited by a long-ago curse.
There are others,humans,miscreants with black souls,who roam the corridors and passageways, infamous people thought long-deceased by the outside world.Yet their hour of retribution is at hand . .
James Herbert' hugely anticipated,controversial new novel is an outstanding achievement,one of his very best works that is sure to have you guessing what is fact and what is fiction.
[Author's last published work,as he died the following year,in March,2013.]
