About this book

Beryl Bainbridge's evocation of childhood in a rundown northern holiday resort. An explosive shocker about little girls . . . here is the horror of child's play mixed with erotic manipulation and evil possession. "A highly plotted horror tale that ranks with the celebrated thrillers of corrupt childhood."—New York Times Book Review
