Curse of the Crimson Altar

Robert Manning goes in search of his brother, who was last known to have visited the remote house of Craxted Lodge at Greymarsh. Arriving at night, he finds a party is in progress, and he is invited to stay by Eve, the niece of the owner of the house. His sleep is restless and strange dreams of ritual sacrifice disturb him. Enquiring about his brother, he is assured by the house owner Morley that the man is not here. But Manning's suspicions are aroused further by his nightmarish hallucinations. When occult expert Professor Marshe informs Manning about a witchcraft cult based around the ancestral Lavinia Morley, the cult is uncovered. Craxted Lodge is burned to the ground, and the head of the cult is consumed in the flames.
