The House on Huntington Hill

This is a horror novel about a wealthy old man named J. Pierson-Grenville who has discovered the secret to eternal life by persuading specially "gifted" young men to give him their bodies in return for having their utmost desires fulfilled, and the attempts of Jack and Doris Oliver to prevent him from claiming their son David. This novel, which has also been called science-fiction by one of the World Wide Web booksellers, will keep you in suspense, right up to David's final words.
