MAGIC COTTAGE, THE - FIRST HARD COVER.

OVERVIEW: "Graymarye. Even the name whispers of divination, of enchantment, of mythical, mystical healing. And for guitarist Mike and his illustrator girlfriend, Midge, the psychic healing begins almost as soon as they set foot inside the bewitching bungalow." 

REVIEW: Mike and Midge, an artistic young couple, decide to leave London and embark on a search for a country house. Midge is drawn to a cottage formerly owned by an eccentric old woman, and peculiar things start happening: falling to pieces at first viewing, the cottage is perfect when carpenters come; wild animals scamper through without fear; members of a religious cult need verbal invitation to cross the threshold. The book intriguingly implies that there is no good or bad magic, it's all in how it is used." -- Publishers Weekly.

By the author of The Rats , The Fog , and Moon . 

Product Description "We thought we’d found our haven, a cottage deep in the heart of the forest. Charming, maybe a little run down, but so peaceful. That was the first part of the Magic. Midge’s painting and my music soared to new heights of creativity. That was another part of the Magic. Our love for each other—well, that became the supreme Magic. But the cottage had an alternative side. The Bad Magic. What happened to us there was horrendous beyond belief. The healings, the crazy sect who wanted our home for themselves, the hideous creatures that crawled from the nether regions, and the bats—oh God, the bats! Even now those terrible things seem impossible to me. Yet they happened."
