Overcome with grief, the young widow travels to Ratchets, the remote village where Michael's family has lived for centuries. But even before the funeral arrangements are completed, Lyndsay begins to suspect that the traditions of the town and its inhabitants, especially their unorthodox reverence for the Land, are frightening and peculiar. The unravelling of these ancient and bloody fertility rituals and incestuous primitive taboos keeps her intellectually and emotionally occupied for the remainder of this gripping story. Through Lyndsay's eyes and actions we come to understand the formidable powers of the earth. Owen Brookes (a possible pseudonym of American fantasy and horror writer Dean R. Koontz), has written a masterful tour de force, an occult novel at once seductive and authentic, in character and plot. Quite a scarce book.
