The Ghostly Work of Jonathan Aycliffe
Hello all you fans of the ghost story. If you are like me there is nothing better then being tucked up in bed reading a tale to chill the blood. Yes my horror aficionado's, take a peek from around those fingers attempting to hide your gaze upon all that is scary, ghastly and above all terrifying from the pen of author Jonathan Aycliffe. Ghost stories how they should be told.
Michael Feraru is a young teacher at a public school in the south of England. Following the deaths of his parents, he discovers he is heir to the family estate in Romania. With the fall of communism and the opening of the country he decides to travel there.
"Jonathan Aycliffe draws on the first part of Bram Stoker's Dracula for the bones of his story--a naive Englishman travels to a remote, forbidding castle in the mountains of Transylvania (postcommunist Romania)--and then fleshes it out with appealing characters and a different plot.
As Gahan Wilson writes in Realms of Fantasy, "If you enjoy this sort of thing at all, you will have a fine, frightening time" Amazon.com Review
