ill. Julian Flynn. London: PS Publishing, 2001. Signed Limited Edition. 5 1/2 x 6 1/2. Hard Cover. Signed by Author. As New / As New. ISBN: 1902880218. Mid-list writer Daniel Ellis becomes obsessed with the life and work of novelist Vaughan Edwards, who disappeared in mysterious circumstances in 1996. Edwardss novels, frieghted with foreboding tragedy and a lyrical sense of loss, echo something in Elliss own life. His investigations lead Ellis ever deeper into the enigma that lies at the heart of Vaughan Edwardss country house, Edgecoombe Hall, and the horror that dwells there. In a departure from his science fiction roots, Eric Brown has written a haunting novella that explores the essence of creativity, the secret of love, and the tragedy that lies at the heart of human existence.
