The Angelus Ghost is a romantic mystery with a dash of history, now in its third printing. Suitable for ladies of quality from 15 to 95, the story features a heroine smart enough not to go into a spooky cellar without a light and a derringer!

The villagers say the house is haunted; Meade’s husband thinks she’s imagining things; but Tara believes there’s something truly evil roaming the dark halls.
