| 3. | Christopher, John The Little People
New York Simon & Schuster 1966 Book Club (BCE/BOMC) Hard Cover Very Good - Good + 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Spine slanted. DJ spine sunned, small chips at spine ends. Text is clean and unmarked. "This novel concerns and engaged couple, British, who become the owners of a castle in Ireland and turn it into a hotel. They find their love for one another disturbed, nearly shattered, by the guests they have taken in and in whose lives they become entangled. But more disturbing, more shattering, are the haunting suggestions of an intrinsic EVIL in the castle, of a presence that is hostile and mysterious. They plunge into the exploration of their domain, finding, with each step, more concrete evidence of a secret life: a diary that links the castle to a Nazi concentration camp doctor, the traces of people who come and go in the night, speaking what sounds like German but who, when seen, have a distinctly supernatural appearance. Gripping and terrifying, The Little People is a story from a master of realistic terror and suspense."
