specimen to his extensive collection of insects...
As well as an entomologist, he is a master hypnotist. Eleanor – taken from the sanatorium two months before – is still haunted, believing that her stillborn child Alastair lives and hides in the shadows.
She becomes pregnant again by the hypnotic coersion and ravishment of her father-in-law Theodore. The murder, mystery and intrigue which follow leave dreadful secrets to be uncovered; and thirteen years later the boy Alastair begins to lose his identity…
A gothic terror heralds the climax of dream-like and hallucinatory events; secrets unfolding, both disturbing and astonishing.
"Here's a virtual round of applause for the author, who has created an amazingly surreal world where mystery thrives – it's a hauntingly good read. "
