Stark Island — Lynna Cooper

A Strange and Terrible Creature

Inez came to Stark Island to catalogue the library in Stark House, a rumbling old mansion of fieldstone and brick. Thus began her ordeal of terror, and her encounter with a madman's curse.

She was taking a moonlight swim in Deepdene Pool, when she saw the creature watching her. As a wave of terror paralyzed her, she was saved by a young painter who lived at Stark House. From him she learned the legend behind the sinister creature, and the curse that followed the Stark family down through the centuries. Then came a moment of jolting horror in the family mausoleum, as a macabre vision arose before Inez's fear-struck eyes!
