Books like Ancient images by Ramsey Campbell


A lost horror film featuring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi is rumored to have been suppressed and burned by powerful forces. Film researcher Sandy Allan is invited to view the sole surviving print, only for the film to disappear and horror to follow. Her investigation leads her to the rural community of Redfield, whose rich soil is fertilized by blood from an ancient massacre. The town keeps its secrets tightly; Sandy is watched and shadowed by strange figures, raising the question of whether paranoia or a determined entity is preventing the film and its dark revelations from resurfacing.
