I am halfway through "The Talisman" by Jonathan Aycliffe and I thought it wasn't one of his best but I am coming to think it may be close to "The Matrix" one of his most frightening novels.
It is almost a drip, drip, drip of a slowly tightening screw of supernatural threat and horror.
Lots of unexplained deaths that point to a pre-Babylonian statue which may be of the Devil, a "Rosemary's Baby scenario, and a lot more.
Innocents are targets and with a blind wife in an old house, the possibility of malevolent ghosts I am enjoying this excellent tome.
I have just noticed a book of his that I was unaware of "The Silence of Ghosts" which I will have to get a copy of as he has not written a book that I didn't enjoy reading.
For some reason, Kate Bush's "Hammer Horror" comes to mind although that is far lighter in mood than this extremely scary book.,
