"I know exactly when this photo was taken: July 1975. And I know where it was taken: on the sloping lawn beneath Albion Fay.
The boy in the photograph is me. The girl is my sister, Angie.
This is the morning of the day when web went into the caves for the first time.
It is the day when our lives changed forever."
Albion Fay, a holiday house in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature's bounty. For the adults, a time for relaxation and to recharge the batteries, while for the children, a chance for exploration and adventure in the English countryside. A happy time for all; nothing could possibly go wrong. Or could it? What should be a magical time ends in tragedy - but what really happened that summer?
When Adam was 15, a terrible thing happened. So terrible that he and his father ran away in an attempt to put it behind them.
But the past is not so easy to shake off. And a new start does not necessarily mean a better start.
Who is the figure at the top of the stairs? Whose is the face in the mirror? what is the thing in the pond? And why does Adam often feel he is being followed, only for his pursuers to dissolve into shadow when he turns to confront them?

RETURN IF YOU DARE TO THE HEYDAY OF HORROR . . .
To the era of British cinema when the bywords for terror and the celluloid supernatural were Hammer Films, Amicus Productions, and Blythewood the Studio of Screams (as the News of the World dubbed it in 1965).
Here, as never permitted before, are the authorised novelizations of four Blythewood classic horror films. Forgotten by some. Unforgettable to many. To chill your spine from the printed page as they once did from the silver screen . . .
