Once Upon a Nightmare
Hawthorne Acres had always meant happiness for lovely young Gwen Damon--but now her Uncle Dave's country home was shadowed by tragedy. Dave had met a mysterious death--and left Gwen not only his estate but a grim legacy of danger and terror.

From the moment Gwen took possession of the old house, there was no one she could trust. Not her envious relatives. Not the strangely hostile handy-man. Not the police who mocked her fears.

Two men offered her aid. One her neighbor and childhood companion, Thad Sherwin, the other, Marshal Winthrop, handsome and charming young lawyer. Both said they loved her. Yet how could she believe them? How could` she choose between them, when she knew that one might be a murderer?
