| Synopsis: |
The Raven family of Long Dream Manor were
distinguished by their noses and their shabby plummage - relics of happier
times when Great-uncle Randulph Raven wrote his thrillingly Gothic stories
and made Victorian England shudder. Unhappily, Gothic frisson is now out
of fashion and the family are forced to look to other means of
survival.
In the circumstances, John Appleby can't help wondering why they insisted on inviting him to stay. Or why the similarities to Randulph's stories are so thick on the ground - animals replaced by marble effigies, a tombstone inscribed with the date of death of a living person, a servant found buried up to his neck in snow. Stone-cold dead. Surely life isn't imitating art? |
