The Perils and Dangers of This Night Paperback – October 1, 2008

by Stephen Gregory (Author)
3.5 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
A throwback to classic psychological horror stories, this tale of revenge and retribution is set in the bleak winter isolation of Foxwood Manor, a boys’ English prep school in the woodlands of Dorset. The stage is set when arrogant former pupil Martin Price inexplicably shows up with his girlfriend, Sophie, joining the headmaster, his wife, and abandoned student Alan Scott as the only residents of Foxwood on a frosty Christmas Eve. As the snow falls, a web of half-truths and innuendoes emerges, and things evolve into a bizarre game of hide-and-seek through the halls and dormitories of the old manor. As events progress throughout the night, shocking revelations emerge, culminating in a stunning conclusion on Christmas morning.

Stephen Gregory is the author of seven dark and disturbing novels. His first book, The Cormorant, which won the Somerset Maugham Award and was made into a film by the BBC starring Ralph Fiennes, was set against the wintry mountains and beaches of Snowdonia. His most recent book, Plague of Gulls, is set within and around the 13th century town walls and castle of Caernarfon, north Wales. A few years ago he was summoned to Hollywood and spent an exhilarating eighteen months writing a screenplay with William Friedkin, the notorious director of The Exorcist. Meanwhile, he continues to earn a crust teaching French to teenage Malay/Chinese girls in Borneo, but hopes to retire soon with his wife Christine to their lovely old house in France.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A rollercoster climax!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2008
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This isn't classic Gregory, I have to say, and will seem like quite a diversion for anyone that happens to have read any of his other works. Nevertheless this is an immensely enjoyable addition to your Gregory collection.
    The climax - which builds beautifuly from about the half way point - is an absolute edge-of-your-seat rollercoaster and wonderfully constructed.

    Gregory's first novel, The Cormorant, was adapted for televsion by the BBC, and boy is this latest offering crying out for the same treatment!
