Following an almost fatal car crash, George, a sixty-nine-year-old psychiatrist, is convalescing at his son’s home in the English countryside. Being very much a ‘city boy’ at heart, George is dreading the boredom he foresees as inevitable in such rural surroundings.    <P><P> In the event, boredom turns out to be the least of his worries.  Initially, he fears that the strange happenings manifesting around him may be the result of his head injuries, but finally has to concede that the weird and terrifying phenomena may actually have a ‘supernatural’ origin.  As a life-long sceptic and realist, this is not a welcome conclusion!         <P><P>But, struggle against that acceptance as he may, it becomes apparent that there is only one way to fight the Paranormal – with Paranormal weapons on a Paranormal battleground.  With the lives and welfare of his family at stake, and generations of souls, trapped in the surrounding area, unable to complete their after-life journeys, it is time to rally all the forces at his disposal. The evil of the Soul Trap must be banished forever.<P><P>About the Author<P><P>Janet M.
