  • 1896 - the United States are in the grip of economic collapse. Three ordinary clerks find themselves on the verge of starvation until one of them discovers a strange old book in a junk shop - a book, hundreds of years old, on Atlantean magic. They weren't sure if this is to be taken seriously - but experimentation produces an entity who offers them a deal: if the three of them can abstain from marriage and from quarrelling with one another for a set period of time they will have a succession of powers granted to them; and if they hold to this compact for the full period they will have all of those powers for the remainder of their lives. If they break the pact they must however accept the consequences...it will cost them their souls.
  • A disturbed presence may be sometimes sensed in the gracious Georgian Lamb House or its grounds. Author and diarist E.F. Benson actually saw the ghost. Henry James, novelist, felt it - not long after he moved in, he wrote The Turn Of The Screw. This is a story of what may have happened to cause the haunting; the first part being the imagined life of Toby Lamb, whose father built the house that stands at the top of Mermaid Street, Rye - an 18th century tragedy whose griefs and frustrations will reach far into the future. This is followed by what may have easily occurred during the occupancies of two famous literary tenants; Henry James,  all hints and shades - and E.F. Benson, visited by a more robust and swinging spectre. The restless ghost pleads for a service to be performed - but what? Who was the dark stranger that E.F. Benson encountered in the gardens? And what agency set the fire that nearly destroyed Henry James' study?
