I first read this book in the '70's and was totally enthralled with the ghostly tale. I enjoyed it so much that I went to great lengths to find another copy.
This time round I have read it sporadically and thus, disappointingly, have lost the excitement it first created. It is, however a wonderful book, well worth reading.

What a great book! For years I wanted to read it but never knew anyone that owned a copy, until my friend Maria graciously offered to lend me hers. I definitely wasnt disappointed! Creepy, spooky ghost story that I was careful not to read too close to my bedtime hehehe.

First west indian horror book that i read. It was beautifully written and it captivated the reader from start to finish.
I read it several years ago and narrated the story to my younger brother and we were both chilled to the bones!
my first horror story. n not bad at all i must say
This is a wonderful caribbean mystery story, at certain times you actually feel as though you're on that ferry going up the river, hearing the sounds of that mysterious flute.
Was on my reading list in the 11th grade. Scariest book I've ever read - without a doubt! Those teachers have no idea how many 11th graders they traumatized!
This was a great horror story and mystery - a mix of Caribbean darkness and English ghost story.

Edgar Mittelholzer is considered the first West Indian novelist, i.e. even though there were writers who wrote about Caribbean themes before him, he was the first to make a successful professional life out of it. Born in Guyana (then British Guiana) of Afro-European heritage, he began writing in 1929 and self-published his first book, Creole Chips, in 1937.
