Publisher's summary

When Peter Constantine inherited a vast, remote estate, his life began to change. Free at last from money worries, Peter and his wife, Meg, could relax - and Peter could explore his new, mysterious home.

From the thick woods, the winding trails, the bizarre, sensual sculpture, came a pulsing, ancient call that stirred his very soul. Then he heard the music and saw the beautiful woman who beckoned him into the wood...into an ancient ritual, a blood curse, a world of violent, unbridled lust.

Now his wife no longer knows him. Now Peter is transformed...into a pagan creature, driven by the suffocating need of animal desire...until pleasure is not enough, and no evil is forbidden.

Private Demons/Desires?

Not what I expected. Reminded me of that Stanley Kubrick movie with weird sexual fantasies exposed. Just my impression.

Not bad but not what I expected

First, I believe the story itself has potential but it was extremely SLOW. Seemed to take forever before anything interesting happened. The narrator did a fine job with a somewhat boring story. It also feels like many things were left unanswered or not explained that may have helped to move the story along and give it more life. Still, it isn't a bad way to pass time if you need to but I am glad I didn't have to pay for it.

I liked it.

I've enjoyed all the Robert Masello books that I've listened to so far, and really like Paul Boehmer's narration. Though this book was written in the 80s, I liked it as much as The Romanov Cross and The Einstein Prophecy... and almost as much as The Jekyll Revelation.
