Feasting Dead

Feasting Dead

by John Metcalfe

In 'Feasting Dead,' Colonel Hapgood grapples with an unsettling unease surrounding his son's visits to a remote French chateau owned by a distant relative. As his son's health deteriorates under the influence of a peculiar and unnerving caretaker, Hapgood becomes increasingly convinced that something sinister is at play. This chilling novel delves into the murky depths of suspicion and paranoia, where the lines between reality and the supernatural blur. As the narrative progresses, Hapgood must confront the terrifying possibility that the unsettling events are not mere figments of his imagination but rather a chilling manifestation of the unseen forces lurking in the shadows.
