From the Publisher: Built over an unquiet grave, the House of the Seven Gables carries a dying man's curse that blights the lives of its residents for over two centuries.

Only two young people stand in his way — a visiting country cousin and an enigmatic boarder skilled in mesmerism. ISBN: 0451527917
