A Cunning Blend of terror, suspense, satire and metaphysical speculation, "The Green Man is a masterly example of the literature of the macabre. Maurice Allington is the proprietor of a medieval coaching inn forty miles outside of London. One of his residents includes the ghost of Dr. Thomas Underhill, a 17th-century practitioner of the black arts and a sexual deviant suspected of two hideous murders. Allington becomes the sole witness to the reappearance of Underhill in the summer of 1968, during which he has more mundane distractions: major staff crises, a withdrawn adolescent daughter, and a compulsion to arrange a perverse romp involving himself, his wife and his mistress. The death of his father, followed by a series of ghostly manisfestations, drives Allington to final confrontation with the ghost itself.
