‘The Calling’ – Bob Randall (New English Library)

Page Count: 188 pages. You know me by now… I like to root around in old bookshops and see what I find, every visit is a treasure hunt and all that 😊 These days, I like to keep an eye open for any horror from the early eighties, I couldn’t get my hands on it as a kid (it was on the shelves but way out of my reach as a kid) so I’m making up for lost time now and catching up on the books of those heady pulpy days when it seemed like anything could become the subject of a horror book. Like a telephone for example… Really though, a telephone…? Well, that’s what the cover of ‘The Calling’ had on it and it was only going to set me back a pound so I thought, why not? Lets give it a go and see where the book takes me. And that was exactly what I did. You have a wonderful husband, a beautiful daughter, and a good job in New York City. And then...the Calling begins. The Presence that turns everyday reality into a nightmare of sheer terror. The shrieking, obscene Silence that follows you
