Description
Bezill is a Gothic fantasy novel by John Symonds, first published in 1962. The story follows Geoffrey Pellerin as he takes up residence at Bezill Tower to tutor the young boy Herbert Shakeshaft. Upon arrival, Pellerin discovers that the household is shrouded in mystery and secrecy, with an array of eccentric characters and strange customs. As Pellerin settles into his new life, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies that threaten to upend his own sense of reality. The novel's atmosphere is one of creeping unease and foreboding, as Pellerin struggles to understand the true nature of Bezill Tower and its inhabitants. This reissued edition features the original jacket illustration by Val Biro and a new introduction by Phil Baker, offering readers a fresh perspective on this long-out-of-print gem.
