Summary: A section of land in England is plagued by an entity.
Comment: I am a huge fan of R. Chetwynd-Hayes ever since I read his short story "The Vampire and the Werewolf." Mr. Chetwynd-Hayes writes so fluidly, you barely notice that you're at the end of the story and find yourself hungering for more. Unfortunately, this I cannot apply entirely to this book. It was well written but the concept of haunted lands and homes is not new, obviously. I would highly recommend anyone read this book, regardless of their preferences of genre because Mr. Chetwynd-Hayes' writing is superlative and unparalleled, in my opinion. This story spans 100 years or more (It has been a time since I've read it so I'm winging it here) and centers upon a section of land in England that holds the spirit of a demon. Houses are built and torn down, but the entity remains, ultimately destroying the residents of each building. It ends, interestingly enough, after the 3rd millenium, (I believe around the year 2057 or so) and Mr. Chetwynd-Hayes exhibits a capable handling of futuristic scenarios. I particularly enjoyed the wall screen television (or telly as the English refer to it) that Mr. Chetwynd-Hayes describes, long before I had ever seen such an item in movies such as Total Recall and the Back to the Future series. It seems to me that Mr. Chetwynd-Hayes is not only incredibly talented, but a visionary as well.
