THE PEN OF MANDERBY PINCHER
William Renshaw loses his job just before Christmas. His wife Beth is positive things will be OK, but he's consumed by anger and bitterness. One day Beth goes into a junk shop and is persuaded to buy her husband an old ink bottle, a penknife and three quills for Christmas.
Clearly pleased by the unusual gift, William Renshaw uses the quills and the ink bottle to write in his diary. But it's when he discovers that what he writes starts to come true that he begins to unlock the secrets of the unassuming writing implements. Secrets that are connected to a dead practitioner of the Dark Arts, Lord Manderby Pincher. Secrets that would be best for all concerned if they remained hidden...
A dark, brooding tale of one man's thirst for revenge and a willingness to embrace evil to bring it about, 'The Pen of Manderby Pincher' is D. M. Mitchell at his horrifying best.
