'A real creepy crawly ... Recommended to those who like their
thrills chilled.' - "Evening Standard"
'John Blackburn lives right up to his reputation for the eerie and
the sinister.' - "The Guardian"
'A stylish, genuinely chilling author. Blackburn's devils do not
loom vaguely in the background, but seem unstoppable and are among
the most malevolent portrayals in the genre.' - "St James Guide to
Crime and Mystery Writers"
'An accomplished writer.' - "Spectator"
Three directors of the Van Traylen Fellowship have died in
gruesome ways, and now a bus carrying children to the Fellowship's
orphanage has crashed, killing the driver and injuring
seven-year-old Mary Valley. While in hospital, Mary, the daughter
of triple murderess Anna Harb, suffers horrifying nightmares, and
psychiatrist Peter Haynes believes she is mentally ill. Is it
schizophrenia, or is there another explanation for the strange and
vivid images she sees: memories of a past life, psychic possession,
or psychological trauma from her lunatic mother's attempts to give
her occult powers? When Anna Harb goes on a murderous rampage at
the hospital, trying to kill Mary and exclaiming that she is a
'soul that should never have been born', the mystery deepens.
General Charles Kirk of Foreign Intelligence and his friend Marcus
Levin, an esteemed scientist, believe Harb is connected with the
Van Traylen deaths and are determined to solve the case. They will
follow the madwoman to a remote Scottish island, where against the
backdrop of a blazing Guy Fawkes night bonfire, a sinister and
unthinkable truth will be revealed
John Blackburn (1923-1993) was unrivalled at blending the genres
of mystery, horror, and science fiction into chilling, page-turning
thrillers, and "Nothing but the Night" (1968) is one of his best
and most frightening. This new edition, the first in over forty
years, includes a new introduction by Greg Gbur.
