ISIS:

ISIS , by Douglas Clegg. Vanguard Press, 2006, 2009, 118 pp., $15.95.
ISBN 978-1-59315-540-7

Iris Catherine Villiers must contend with a lot of strong personalities at her home near the coast of Cornwall, including her grandfather (the “sinners-in-the-hands-of-an-angry-God” Gray Minister) and a cruel governess. Her only solace – her brother Harvey.

Harvey is half of the Great Villiers Brother and Sister Trapeze Act. A freak accident, involving Iris, ends up killing her beloved brother. But Iris calls him back, one time, literally from the grave. But calling back the dead does exact a very steep price.

Andrew M. Andrews
