✦ Synopsis

Russell Kirk, who gained the acclaim of the nation recently with his Gothick novel. Old House of Fear, now tops the thrills of that widely praised tour de force with his intensely realistic ghost stories. Writing from his haunted house at Mecosta, Michigan, one of the most isolated places on earth. Dr. Kirk takes you on eerie trips to visit deconsecrated churches, the drawing room of a poisoner, ancient cellars, Scottish castles, deserted houses off lonely roads, and the most fascinating of all�the great, almost uninhabited wilderness. There is the chilling speculation of a major thinker behind each of these tales, and the vengeful ghosts of Russell Kirk select their contemporary victims with proper morbid care.
