Another great Horror novel ..This is one of Ramsey Campbell's better ones..Once you start reading you can't put it down,,,
Poor Rowan! Her great-aunt Queenie has died and she has been told that her birth was an accident and her parents didn't want her and can't afford to keep her. Although Rowan loved her great-aunt, Queenie caused so much misery to the family, that most in the family are glad she is dead. But Queenie was so domineering and did not want to die, so she sets her sights on young Rowan and sets out to possess her after death. She uses Rowan's fears and uncertainties as she takes over her body bit by bit. Can Rowan escape from Queenie's power and return to the parents and life she loves?
Wow! This was a really original and engrossing horror tale that I would highly recommend. Campbell weaves a really spooky tale with lots of atmosphere including an old Gothic house and potential madness in the family. I know Campbell is considered one of the best horror writers in Britain but this is the first of his that I have read. I'll be keeping an eye out for more!
