"You look like you're going to fit in nicely." These ominous words are spoken by a young scholar's new landlord. The new apartment is supposed to bring a fresh approach to his thesis on the 14th-century executions of women suspected of being witches. But his environment starts to taunt him with the same themes as in his books, and he has a vision of a hand with a nail through it, and things start falling apart. This intense, inward novel adroitly combines the gradual slip-sliding of reality of a classically "weird tale" and the well-paced suspense of a crime thriller.
