Dr. Ronald Wake and his wife, Evelyn, have been though a horrifying personal experience, that has made a holiday in Italy necessary. There, under the serene Neopolitan sky, they relate the experience that has driven them to Italy seeking quiet and peace. Cold Harbour is horrible in its note of terror because it never strains credulity. The diabolical Humphrey Furnival, with his frustrated life and excessive energy, turned for outlet to abnormal practices, is quite within belief. Visible malice, invisable horrors, and goose-flesh are all in "Cold Harbour." It is a technical tour de force and, what is more, a good story.
