AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Flea is in the business of frightening people with monster masks and severed hands. When he isn't being a terror, he's studying music in a spooky old mansion and artists' colony called Montsalvat on the outskirts of Melbourne. It's the sort of place which has stone rooms and a cemetery and a caretaker who sharpens his axe on a foot-cranked grindstone and makes your blood run cold. When tales of the Ghost start to surface, Flea and his friends won't be warned. And they find themselves in a horror story better than anything Flea could invent. (Source: back cover)
