Paperback. Zustand: New. "This original haunted house tale, with a unique plot and compellingly vivid characters, moves from uneasy to creepy to all-out 'keep the lights on' terror." -Library Journal, starred review.In the tumultuous summer of 1974, in the shadowy rooms of a rundown mansion in Rhode Island, renowned psychologist Dr. Piers Preis-Herald brings together a group of seven collegiate researchers to study the inner lives of man's closest relative?the primate. They set out to teach their subject, who would eventually be known to the world as Smithy, American Sign Language. But as the summer deepens and the history of the mansion manifests, the messages signed by their research subject become increasing spectral. Nearly twenty-five years after the Smithy Project ended in tragedy at Trevor Hall, questions remain: Was Smithy a hoax? A clever mimic? A Rorschach projection of humanity's greatest hopes and fears? Or was he indeed what devotees of metaphysics have claimed for so long: a link between our world and the next.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Desiree has elevated the documentary-style ghost-story genre to unique heights.' BooklistIn the summer of 1974, in a derelict Rhode Island mansion called Trevor Hall, a team of scientists taught American Sign Language to a chimpanzee. They affectionately christened their subject "Smithy." His official name was Webster.The Smithy Project ended in tragedy, some believing that a dark presence inside Trevor Hall had been disturbed. Webster was acquired by CSAM, a research lab in California run by the iron-fisted Manfred Teague. CSAM had a reputation for sullen staff, gloomy conditions, and cruel experiments. Despite this, two of Webster's original researchers, Jeff Dalton and Ruby Cardini, followed him west, determined to look after their friend.But another entity followed the chimp as well, and in the waning years of the 1970s, "Webster" became synonymous with a menagerie of inexplicable events, strange social movements, curious legal cases, and chilling courtroom testimonies. All were haunted by the question left unanswered at Trevor Hall: Had Webster not only bridged the gap between man and animal, but between this world and the next.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Solicitor Gerald Braddon doesn't know what to make of his newest client, the brooding, bitter, contentious heiress Flora Benson. Doubtless, her strangeness stems from her troubled past. Shortly after Flora and her older brother were orphaned, Miles died under mysterious circumstances while in their governess's care at their uncle's country estate. Meanwhile, young Flora was whisked away to recuperate from an illness, never to know her brother's true fate. The loss has haunted her ever since. Now grown and with new resources at her disposal, Flora engages Gerald to investigate Miles's death. The search for answers leads them back to Bly House, an uncanny place that exercises a dark influence over its visitors. There, Gerald discovers the world is not as steady and predictable as he has always believed, and Flora confronts forgotten and suppressed terrors from her childhood. Alternating between the present-day investigation and Flora's eclectic youth, including her early years in India and a tumultuous adolescence at an English boarding school, Innocent reveals unexplored facets of familiar characters and challenges a well-known narrative.Drawing inspiration from Henry James's classic novella, The Turn of the Screw, as well as popular film adaptations like The Innocents (1961) and The Nightcomers (1971), Innocent offers fresh chills and suspense for new readers and fans of the source material alike.…
