Dark forces are at work in the seemingly placid countryside of Victorian England. As his church mysteriously burns and his friends die around him, Father Alec Venn catches a glimpse of a winged figure outside one of the stained glass windows. Venn's quest to reveal the source of the destruction will bring him face to face with ghosts, demons, and human evil. The boundary between life and death as well as the limits of faith are tested in this novella of the supernatural by Jeffrey Thomas. ~ 300 numbered softcover chapbooks, signed by Jeffrey Thomas
