Crucible of Evil — Lyda Belknap Long

The evil floating face had followed her since childhood--but now it threatened her very life!

A Hideous Masque

Amanda had lived in Lescot Manor Hall all her life, but when her father died in a fall down the stairs she resolved to leave, for she knew that the mansion was cursed.

Amanda returned to Lescot Manor Hall, only to see a macabre and startling apparition: the body of her father, looking just as it had when he died..and floating over it a twisted, evil face with red flames flickering over its features--the same evil face which had tormented her as a child. This was the beginning of her terrifying ordeal--an ordeal that would culminate in the uncovering of a cult of Satan, and a terrible struggle to overcome dark and mysterious forces!
