From the paperback front cover: Weird, evil, horrifying! This book is all that and more. Howard Whelan, a hard-driving American architect, takes his young wife Angela to England while he completes a new building project. Angela is subject to depression and hypochondria, and falls ill while in London. When Howard suffers a stress-induced heart attack, Angela chooses a remote, long-unoccupied cottage near the sea as the place for them to both recover. The strange events that begin as soon as they move in escalate to a harrowing climax. I still remember the shock I felt at the ending when I first read the book in 1972. A terrifying gothic; really unique. ( )

When Angela suffers a sickness, her doctor advises a change of scenery for her. She and her husband Howard move into a house by the sea in England. They soon discover strange happenings occurring at their new house. I first read this book a long time ago, and I've remembered it ever since. I've been trying to get a copy of this book for literally years. My daughter found it in Canada finally. I give this story an A+! most definitely. ( )
