Publisher's Synopsis
James Asher, Junior, a postgraduate student at Boston's Harvard University, is invited to stay at Wycliff Manor, his cousin's vast and ancient estate in southwestern England. When he arrives at the mansion, James is hosted by Baron William Charles Von Drake, a descendant of King Edward III. But after terrifying events allude to James' secrets, he begins to realize that Wycliff Manor is haunted, is a microcosm of hell itself, and that perhaps even he harbors the essence of evil-with no way out.
