Description:In one
of the most eerie horror stories ever written, Alfred Bannerlee finds
himself precipitated into a mysterious household. Shortly after his
arrival a strange murder is committed. Two more deaths occur, and there
broods over the whole house an atmosphere of nameless horror. And all
the time there lurks in the background the strange figure of Parson
Lolly, who should have been three hundred years dead. Bannerlee's diary
of events tells the tale, and itself plays no small part in solving the
mystery.
Why is the manuscript hidden in the lid of that box, and
what on earth or out of it makes that noise in the castle? And why does
the murderer tell most of the story? Dire deeds in Wales
