The Horrible Hand! Mr Craig Richard May

... It creeps up without warning...the undead hand of millionaire Roderick Dalmaine, who has been hacked to pieces by an unknown assailant... "Roderick's right hand, as you're all aware, was severed in the attack. But it wasn't found at the crime scene. Nor has it been found anywhere on the premises." So the local sheriff informs Roderick's house party of relatives, who have gathered for the reading of his will...but this is only one of the many surprises awaiting them on this storm-tossed night, which include the revelation by his lawyer that Roderick had a secret, and dangerous, daughter... "Violetta resides in the tower of Dalmaine Hall. She has been insane from birth...should Violetta pass away, the bequests that I outlined for each of you just now will become effective. But not until then." In light of this, who should Roderick's family fear more? At least, more than each other? Violetta Dalmaine...or the Horrible Hand? Both are on the prowl tonight! The Horrible Hand...it grabs you and never lets go! Here, for the first time, is the novelized version of The Horrible Hand!, the 1954 premiere entry in the cult classic "Eerie Series" film anthology by legendary camp horror director Anthony Miles. Complete with fascinating annotations and behind-the-scenes lore, the result of exhaustive research by official Eerie Series historian Corwin McCloud, this one-of-a-kind work offers insight not only into the creation of The Horrible Hand! as a movie, but into the troubled character of Anthony Miles-whose disappearance in 1969 remains a mystery unsolved to this day-as well as the recurring themes of personal and spiritual redemption which are prevalent throughout his work.
