The Spell of the Sorcerer's Skull

This piece of gothic bewitchery should leave its readers fairly breathless by the time they get to the end. it has enough Boy's Own/B-movie awfulness to make it quite appealing if taken with a massive sack of salt -- strictly to ward off the evil you understand! Goings on in Professor Childermass's ancestral past puts the old codger into danger from the revengeful spirit of one Warren Windrow, who'd tried to kill Great Uncle Lucius, with good cause, I might add. It takes young Johnny Dixon, his sceptical friend Fergie and the doughty Father Higgins to save the day ... just on the stroke of midnight, naturally!
