Terror was master of the Manor...

When lovely Dale Ogden came to the isolated Van Gorder manor to act as companion to the strange and eccentric woman who ruled the household with a grip of iron, she little suspecgted the turn her unshadowed young life would take. Why was there chill fear in the eyes of everyone she met, from the faithful family retainers to the haunted man for whom she felt so dangerous an attraction? What secrets of horror past and present did the twisting corridors and windswept countryside conceal? And why, suddenly, inexplicably, did she feel herself marked as victim?
