CANDLES IN THE WOOD

By

Pub Date: Sept. 12th, 1974
Publisher: Putnam

Cold shadows of evil"" lay over Gallowmerry castle when gamekeeper's orphaned daughter Helen Comyn comes home from finishing school to pursue her supernatural obsession to become lady of the manor. One ghost of a child laid to rest, and a good deal of lust, murder, possession, madness and revenge before virtue's triumph wipes out most of the family. Candies in the wood -- termites of the genre.
