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's hugely anticipated,controversial new novel (then 2012) is an outstanding achievement,one of his very best works that is sure to have you guessing what is fact and what is fiction.
