Simon Gray - The Holman Candidate Blurb: There isn't one. Timothy Lea - Confessions From A Haunted House (Futura, 1979) Blurb: More gripping than THE EXORCIST!
Funnier than INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS!
The first Timothy Lea confession for two years is not for faint hearts. Shapely American heiress Harper Deneuve must spend seven days and nights within the
haunted walls of Grimstack Manor before claiming her inheritance. But somebody is trying to kill her.
Could it be Festering, the sinister butler? Or one of the other unwholesome members of the staff: Quint, Grip and Blight? Perhaps the beautiful but deranged Lady Antonia? Or pert little Fanny, the aptly named undermaid?
Maybe the mysterious 'Mad Black' Jack Deneuve, or easily aroused Fiona Frenzy?
As Timmy and Brother-in-law Sid struggle to get to the bottom of everything, the mystery deepens and the incorrigible pair are hurtled towards a stunning and unexpected climax.Jacqui Devoy [ed.] - The Dark Side: 10 Chilling stories Of The Supernatural (emap elan, n.d.
