Description
From the astonishing imagination of Simon Clark comes a tale of groundbreaking horror that rewrites all the rules of the haunted house fable. It begins with a sound. And sounds can never hurt...can they? The Tower stands in solitude. What began as a medieval farmhouse has grown over the centuries into something very different. Something evil. There are the stark walls, the shadow-filled rooms and lonely corridors haunted by a pervading darkness. But The Tower is possessed by much more than the ghosts of the past and it has the power to do more than simply terrify. Its dark heart has grown restless. When five unsuspecting young people agree to stay there as house-sitters, they soon learn that visitors are not welcome. This is The Tower, a house whose occupants don't always wear a human face...
