Something Evil

by Arthur Hoffe, Robert Foster (Illustrator)

Beyond All Reason: Laura knew Jeffrey's sister was totally mad. Jeffrey admitted this. She had suffered brain damage a fall from Jeffrey's horse. For all the years since, she had been closeted in her room, seen only accidentally by visitors, a fleeting vision of a burning-eyed wraith, distracted and angry.

But Laura could not help feeling that there was something beyond this that controlled Jeffrey's life. His ghastly sculptures, his mother's alcoholism, and the unexplained disappearance of three visitors to the strange old house- all pointed to SOMETHING EVIL.

Reviews

[Werefox by moonlight: Half man, half beast, but all horror · Rating 2 out of 5]

A promising opening chapter gives way to a bland historical melodrama more concerned with a small town love triangle than with building any sort of gothic atmosphere.
