Eyes of Terror (Fantasy and Horror Classics) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781447404958)

Can the victim be saved from an attack that leaves no physical mark?

From Mrs. L. T. Meade, a pioneering master of fin de siecle medical and sensation fiction, comes a chilling tale where the most dangerous threat is not a ghost, but the perverse power of the human mind.

A doctor's patient is suffering from a terrifying and inexplicable condition: she is being slowly, systematically driven to madness and paralysis by an unknown assailant. But the evidence suggests the weapon is not a knife or a chemical, but a subtle, psychological assault launched by a criminal with an uncanny gift for hypnotic manipulation.

This story plunges into the unsettling crossroads of Victorian scientific anxiety and occult influence. It's a sophisticated thriller that investigates the boundaries of the mind, where the physician must become a detective, and the power of suggestion proves more lethal than any bullet.
