Burnt Offerings
by Robert Marasco
A tale of mounting horror, of menace and malevolence, of seduction and
possession. A novel of the supernatural, it rivals "The turn of the Screw" in
the artistry of its construction of evil.
"Unique Summer Home. Restful, secluded. Perfect for large family. Pool,
private beach, dock. Long season. Very reasonable for the right people."
And the Rolfes WERE the right people. Marian felt it the moment she and Ben and
David drove through the massive stone pillars into the twisting roadway dense
with tangled growth and up to the great house that loomed cathedral-like at the
crest of the hill.
Walker sensed it as he opened the door of the decaying mansion and beckoned
them into the dusty rooms beyond.
Roz and Brother knew it as they watched Marian's gaze caress the Aubussons and
the crystal, the gold and the silver, and her eyes widen as they swept over the
weed-choked terrace to the wide rolling lawn sloping down to the bay below.
And Ben? why then the pinpoint of fear piercing inward to the very heart of his
being?
