a tale of dark powers and weird happenings
The Story Thus Far
SCENE, the Missouri-Arkansas border, in Civil War times, within the shadow of a natural obelisk called Fearful Rock, a deserted, haunted house. Enid Mandifer is sent there by her stepfather, Persil Mandifer, as a sacrifice to the Nameless One he worships. She encounters, instead, Lieutenant Kane Lanark, of the Union Army, who has camped his cavalry patrol at the demon-haunted house.
