Product Description
Synopsis
Christina seemed no different from any other young girl: polite, attractive and a little shy. But each evening as darkness fell, the demonic power within her betrayed its presence, and a terrible pattern of evil began to emerge.

I read this book about 55yrs ago and seemed to remember enjoying it, rereading it I was amazed at the absurdity of the whole story, to me the classic passage was when Johns Mother realises that Christina is possesed by 'Satanic Forces' and relating this to John; his reply was 'Gosh MUMSY' Altogether a great read, it wont keep you awake fearing The great satan will leap through your bedroom window

I had read a couple of Dennis Wheatleys books years ago and remembered them as being quite good. The settings and language have dated considerably, but, as long as you transport yoursef back to the period when this was written then you will find the story telling is still good. I couldn't put the book down and it had me on the edge of my seat a couple of times. Simple, but effective plots make this an enjoyable, easy read.

We are all used to films not being "like/as good as" the book. Hammer's To the Devil - A Daughter is no exception. If you've not seen it, don't rush to; if you have, don't let it put you off trying this book. Not for nothing was Wheatley known as the Prince of Thriller Writers, and to those of us in the know he still is. You will hear it said he's dated, or his views are un-PC. Well, quite often those 'views' are those of his characters - you can't say for certain DW was pro this or anti that - and frankly, who cares? Such remarks are more often than not few and far between anyway, and at the end of the day all that matters is the story - and there Wheatley, once tried, will hold you in his vice-like grip. With colourful characters, exotic settings and strange events, he is the very definition of a page-turner. Let's hope Wordsworth, with these new reprints, bring us many more - and not just the occult novels. Either way, at these prices, you can't lose.
