SHUDDERING CASTLE is not a mystery novel in the generally
accepted sense. It is a novel with a mystery; a highly imaginative
story, with revelations in the field of radio and short-wave
broadcasting. None of the strange events recorded oversteps the
boundaries of accepted natural laws.
In this novel of exciting action, radio communication is established
between Earth and Mars, with a world-girdling hook-up from Radio
Center, in New York City, and the reader will be amazed to find that
the Martians are human beings like ourselves, subject to the same laws,
the same temptations and passions which affect humanity. Into this
pulsating picture of tensed American life of the near future, comes
another revelation from the sky. This brings the reader to the drama
of a frightening but plausible visitor from the jungles of Mars to
this world, whose presence in the old spooky castle of an eccentric
millionaire-scientist on Long Island causes great fear to its inmates
when night falls.
But there is thrilling romance to warm your hearts, the infatuation
of a young newspaperman for the alluring debutante niece of the old
scientist; a humanly drawn boy and girl who are caught in the violent
web of mystery and sudden death. SHUDDERING CASTLE is a unique
study in the mysterious recesses of the universe.
