Synopsis
This chilling mystery thriller by the author of Rosemary’s Baby & Deathtrap explores the thin line between fantasy and reality, madness and murder. Students Susan and Larry find themselves as guests enticed to the Brabissant mansion, by its dissolute caretakers, the lonely Mackeys. Struck by Susan’s strong resemblance to Veronica Brabissant, long dead daughter of the family for whom they worked, the older couple gradually induce her to impersonate Veronica briefly to solace the only living Brabissant, her addled sister who believes she is still alive. Once dressed in Veronica’s clothes, Susan finds herself locked in the role and locked in Veronica’s room. Or is she Veronica in 1935, pretending to be an imaginary Susan trapped in a nightmare?
