Things Unseen
Things Unseen is a combination of sizzling romance, eerie horror, and tense psychological drama.
Elise is a beautiful young woman with a pretty daughter and a loving husband. She seems to have the perfect life. Then Sam, her husband, is killed in a climbing accident and Elise’s life falls apart. She has to cope with her grief and the loss of Sam. On top of that, strange things keep happening in her house. Soon, Elise begins to wonder if she is going mad.
Dirk is a tall, dark Dutchman who notices Elise at her work in a café. He knows nothing about her, but he is attracted by her pert figure and her cheery energy. Then she stays away from work for a while, and when she returns she is pale and withdrawn. Dirk does not know it, but this is the time of her husband’s death. Concerned, Dirk offers comfort. Alone and desperate for warmth, Elise agrees to go out with him.
Elise and Dirk are put through a tortuous course of tension, emotion, and sheer fear. Can their love survive it? Indeed, can their sanity survive it?
Elise and Dirk find a uniquely South African resolution of their problems. In their search, they recognize the parallels between Western and African psychology, as represented by Jung’s theories on the one hand, and by a Xhosa healer and African (folktales) on the other hand.
Weird dreams, strange occurrences, things that go bump in the night. The mysteries of Africa, the variety of Cape Town, the deadly beauty of Table Mountain. Add an amateur ghost-buster, a professional witch doctor, and other flamboyant characters. Laughter, horror, romance and an interesting resolution make this book a “must read”!
