Every night in the town of Crybbe, the church bell tolls one hundred times...
No one observes the curfew anymore; the ringing is just a ritual. And the ancient standing stones that once surrounded the town are long destroyed. But Max Goff thinks they should be replaced. The millionaire New-Age entrepreneur believes tourists will flock to Crybbe to see the stones, to hear the quaint curfew bells, to feel the Great Life Force... But where there is a life force, there is also hunger. And in the the light of the twentieth century, Max Goff has forgotten that every ritual has its purpose. And the powers of the old age, pent up for centuries, never really die. They come back - with a vengeance...

I'm not a fan of horror but I wanted to give Rickman's writing a try & really quite enjoyed it. I thought it all went on a bit long but he really did a good job of creating a sense of hair-raising evil permitted to re-enter the living world through the machinations of some sinister, some unknowing or uncaring, and some very silly people.
