More spine-tingling tales from the Welsh master of mystery and horror, beginning with two stories about "The Curse of Oxton Hall", a place where unfortunate happenings occur in plentiful supply. This is followed by "Hell at Hollow Brook", where a horrible twist of fate leads a quiet country village to be overrun with vermin. Peculiar circumstances surround the death of spinster Mary Shaw in "Strange Affliction". Bob & Louise Brooks and their psychic son attempt to piece things together in this off the beaten track mystery. "A Secret No More" involves voodoo, spirits and priests, and ends with the telling lines "Maybe it's you. Be careful." This collection of engrossing and disturbing tales is rounded off with the sabotage thriller "An Almost Deadly Game".
