Our copies ship with a card, signed by William Charlton, laid in. This Mount Abraxas title (in this trim size anyhow) is the largest ever both in terms of page count and word count. A full-blown novel. “Photis Nevell is a young widow who has lost her way in life. A lean and empty summer lies ahead of her. She takes up offers of temporary work cleaning pictures and putting libraries in order in a succession of houses in England and France. She finds people treating her strangely and realises that she is being shadowed by an unseen influence, which she is gradually forced to identify with her dead husband. When she falls in love with a young Frenchman the influence changes to one of jealous menace. The story is told in alternate chapters from the standpoint of Photis and in the words of her husband as he strives to communicate with her and win her back. At each of the places where she is working he gets closer to her and becomes more master of the powers that are open to him in his bodiless state, until his final desperate effort to repossess her reaches a terrifying climax.” #59169
