The Shadowed Staircase
When Silas Waring died, he left grim old Waring Manor to Laura Spencer, his grand-niece, and last surviving relative - and in it, as her special legacy, a great curving staircase that fed, like a snarling mouth, into the dark gullet of the second floor.
What was the secret of that staircase, built of many rich and exotic woods? Was Laura only imagining the dread power over life and death it seemed to possess? Then the Faithful gathered to mourn old Silas - strange, whimsical people whose behavior amused, puzzled and finally terrified Laura...
Who were the Faithful and what did they want? Had Silas Waring surrendered his soul to heaven - or to hell? A young girl faces mystery and horror in a house ruled from beyond!
