Recenzii
An intelligent, unnerving tale... that, like the smell of a damp church, slowly seeps into your bones
Scary stuff
You'll be frightened to turn the page... but you'll still want to.
Seek and you shall find . . .
After the death of his beloved wife, Andrew Macleod finds solace in his research in Edinburgh. His interest in the ancient practices of magic is purely academic until the soothingly hypnotic rituals and mysterious ceremonies begin to lure him into a consuming quest for knowledge. When his passion escalates into an obsession for power and mastery, Andrew unwittingly becomes the apprentice of Duncan Mylne, who has a strange hold over him.
Though Andrew fears Mylne's menacing tutelage, he allows himself to be drawn deeper into an inner circle of evil. When he finally discovers the demented motivation behind Mylne's interest in him, it is too late for redemption, poised as he is on the edge of the horrific abyss between life and death . . .
'Scary stuff.' OK! Magazine
'Intelligent, literate and filled with fine research . . . there are echoes of the greatest ghost writer of them all, Edgar Allen Poe, in the poised and elegant bookishness of the prose.' Scotsman
'You'll be frightened to turn the page, but you'll still want to.' Northern Echo
