Book description
Past and present exist side by side as the ghost of a young poet seeks
to protect the family living in the house he haunts. Robert 'Robbie'
Clavell, a young Victorian poet, is murdered by a jealous competitor,
but his murderer, not content with ending Robbie's life, also invokes an
ancient curse that forces his spirit to remain earthbound. When Jamie
Barrett, a dancer in London's West End, receives a phone call from his
mother telling him of strange knocking noises and furniture moving
about, he travels home to Manchester to investigate and give support to
his mother and his twelve year old niece, Laura. Advised to contact a
psychic for help, Jamie meets Kevin Singleton, and despite the
seriousness of what they discover, the two men find a mutual attraction.
Kevin explains to Jamie and his mother that their recent family
tragedies had opened a portal allowing base spirits to enter and feed
off of Laura's youthful and vibrant energy. Kevin is able to make a
psychic connection with Robbie who tells him that George Russell, his
murderer, is the one responsible for the upheaval in the Barrett
household. But when Robbie tries to help Kevin exorcise Russell's
spirit, Russell summons up an even darker force - one that could not
only destroy the house and everyone in it, but ensure Robbie's spirit
will never find his way home. Reader Advisory: This story contains one
