Dennis Wheatley – The Haunting of Toby Jugg (Arrow, Sept. 1970)

Blurb:
Throughout the Middle Ages, and indeed, up until the end of the eighteenth century, the burning of witches and the fear of witchcraft was an ever-present part of life, but how is it that during the past hundred years so little interest has been taken in the Devil’s activities The Haunting of Toby Jugg suggests an answer. Woven into a tale of modern love and courage, of intrigue, hypnotism and Satan-worship, it propounds a theory that under a new disguise the Devil is still intensely active – that through his chosen emissaries he is nearer than ever before to achieving victory in his age-old struggle to become, in fact as well as in name, the Prince of this World …

And suddenly not only Britain’s security but the peace of the world was in danger. In the course of their duties all of Verney’s agents faced possible torture or death. But for Mary the fight against her husband’s killers meant danger of a different kind – her total submission to their vicious and degrading rituals …

Blurb:

Freeing the alligators from the reptile zoo is the very last gesture of defiance by two Animal Rights activists. For, horrifying, the primeval monsters turn on their liberators with savage fury.

Now they have tasted human flesh – they want more. Hiding in the river, they mutilate and devour their unwary victims. Poachers, campers, illicit lovers, straying children … the appalling daily toll of victims increases.

Now men and reptiles must match their strength and cunning in a bloody battle for survival – or death.

ROGER BROOK on a secret mission to Catherine the Great’s Russia.

In 1788 Roger travelled to the Russia of that bold, beautiful, cultured, licentious woman, Catherine II – justly surnamed ‘the Great’ – for Britain’s youngest Prime Minister, Billy Pitt.

Richard Lewis – Spiders (Arrow, 1987)

Blurb:

The Kentish countryside was bathed in golden autumn sunshine. All around lay peace and tranquillity.
Maybe it was too peaceful, too ominously quiet, but who’d complain about that?
Certainly not old Dan Mason, energetically tugging out weeds in his farmhouse garden.
What he’d uncovered there didn’t alarm him.
But it should have. For he’d just released a seething army of death . .
