A very young woman's first job: governess to two strangely beautiful, strangely distant, strangely silent children, Miles and Flora, on a forlorn farm ... A farm haunted by a bad name.

Half-seen figures that shine from dark towers and dusty windows, dirty ghosts that, day by day, night by night, come closer and closer. With growing horror, the helpless governess realizes that the devilish creatures love children, trying to corrupt their bodies, possess their minds, possess their souls ...

But worse still, the governess discovers that Miles and Flora are not terrified of the evil lurking.

Because they love the undead as much as the dead love them.
