Anne

A missing film, starring Karloff and Lugosi. Mysterios deaths aurrounding people once in contact with the film; and an inquisitive British film editor & her boyfriend. Add some folk-lore and horror, all in a countryside setting.

Plot
An unusual and intriguing folk-lore-ish plot which covers quite a proportion of the English countryside. The story is simple and quick moving, it's interest lies with the film editor and the people she contacts

Characters
A large number of characters within the film industry and part of the external picture. They are all interesting, different, well-rounded and thoroughly believable. The evil characters are very unusual and quite sad, their descriptions subtle at first growing more descriptively horrific as the book progresses.

General
A good read rather reminiscent of The Wicker Man. Most enjoyable and very easy to follow. Wuite quick to read and difficult to put down.
