    About this ebook

    Wellsby Manor has a history of bloodshed, built upon the grave of an evil entity who tormented and ate Stone Age humans then infected the soil for ages. His brutal presence inhabits the mansion, terrifying and slaughtering wealthy occupants . . . as well as the residents of a hotel, insane asylum, and home for the elderly. The murders and deaths on that cursed site remain unsolved. Tobias Pallberry now intends to conduct a séance to contact the spirits of the dead. Those who attend must face a wild night of fright as The Bone Man awakens. And the body count rises.

    WARNING: Not for the faint of heart!
