Shrine
Author(s): James Herbert
Fantasy Science Fiction Horror
A little girl called Alice. A deaf-mute. A vision. A lady in shimmering white who says she is the immaculate conception. And Alice can suddenly hear and speak, and she can perform miracles. Soon the site of the visitation, beneath an ancient oak tree, has become a shrine, a holy place for thousands of pilgrims. But Alice is no longer the guileless child overwhelmed by her new saintliness. She has become the agent of something corrupt, a vile force that is centuries old. Innocence and evil have become one. 'Thrills and chills galore from the bestseller Herbert ...his best yet...the build-up to the horrifying climax is subtle and sophisticated' Daily Express
