THE RAVEN - By Eunice Sudak- Volume 3 in Philip J. Rileys Nightmare Series

THE MASTER - EDGAR ALLAN POE



Who was the raven?
What was his diabolical errand?
Could anyone ignore the warning from beyond the grave?
Do you dare to spend one night in Dr. Scarabus sinister castle
Will your heart stand the suspense?
Is your stomach strong enough to bear the brutal torture of an innocent girl?
And what of the wanton, lustful, beauty whose name was Lenore?

The story of the 1940 film by Will Garth The strange adventures of Dr. Cyclops, the superscientist, makes a thrilling and amazing horror story.
