When a frequently published writer of historical novels lays a masterpiece of uninhibited, spine-chilling horror on a publisher's desk, the event is as rare and unexpected as angels in hades. And DELIVER ME FROM EVA is as rare as the event-take it from us. The book held our editor spellbound, as it will everyone who reads it. When he'd finished the last gripping line his blood was running as cold as a lizard's belly, and for a week he dared not turn off his lights at night. We swear it's the most gosh-awful, horrific spine-tingler imaginable, but we're not revealing any of its awesome secrets. All we'll tell you is that, like the weird and imaginative flights of Poe, Stevenson and James, DELIVER ME FROM EVA will hold you entranced. and glued to the chair, as it moves with breathless speed through to its astonishing climax. And if it isn't "literature"-what the devil is it? We dare you to read it! - Summary by THE PUBLISHERS from the Preface
