The Most Haunted House In The World

Somewhere through the looking-glass, it is 12 March 1934 at Brunton Rectory in rural Suffolk.The cynical psychic detective Arnold Bink arrives with his gimcrack Electric Pentacle, lured by rumours of a haunting. He finds instead a household already imploding under its own illusions: the ailing Rector, Calvary Woodruff, drifting into dangerously erratic Anglo-Catholic mysticism; his sociopathic and bored young wife, Virginia, manufacturing crude phenomena with the help of her current lover, the brutal fascist handyman Flower.Bink rapidly uncovers the tawdry truth - and quickly and quietly buries it again. A fabricated haunting will make a far better book, and The Most Haunted House in the World will, naturally, star himself.After a disastrous dinner, a deranged sermon, and the Rector's collapse over his beloved and opulent Desclée Bible, Bink installs the Electric Pentacle around the inert clergyman and promises psychic healing. But when the contraption is finally switched on, Brunton Rectory becomes something far stranger - and far more harrowing - than a setting for a mere 'ghost story'... The Most Haunted House in the World is a saturnine and sardonic examination of faith under pressure, fraudulence within and without, and the terrible persistence of things we hoped were ghosts.
