House of Strange Music

by Ann L. Thompson

HOUSE OF STRANGE MUSIC is a modern ghost story. As a musical child prodigy, Lynn has led a stressful life; motherless, dominated by a harsh father, she's been prodded into achievement. When her father dies, seventeen-year-old Lynn looks forward to more freedom; instead, in accordance with her father's will, she finds herself under the strict guardianship of a great musician whom she has never before met, Anton Varrig. Not long after her arrival at his mansion on Lake Michigan, Lynn discovers that the house is haunted and Varrig himself, although a powerful personality, is a man of uncertain disposition. Lynn struggles to survive in a threatening atmosphere, aided only by Dan, a young man who befriends her and with whom she falls in love. When separated from him, Lynn faces an ever-darkening scene, alone.
