4 Yarborough Drive looked like any other late 19th century English townhouse. Alice Lorrimer feels safe and welcomed there, but soon discovers all is not as it appears to be. One of her housemates flees the house in terror. Another disappears and never returns. Then there are the sounds of a woman wailing, strange shadows and mists, and the appearance of the long-dead Josiah Underwood who founded a coven there many years earlier. The house is infested with his evil, and Alice and her friends are about to discover who The Thirteen really are.
As this story does not take place in the United States I may be a bit off on the terminology. A small group of young women are renting what is referred to as a bed sit which I believe is some type of rooming house, or perhaps what we would call studio apartments in a spooky old house with a dark past.
There already seems to be some supernatural activity going on, but after the girls hold a seance with a make shift Ouija board things begin to escalate. One young woman is so upset that she moves out immediately and one just disappears...leaving nothing but a dress behind. It's hard for me to say more without giving too much away, but there was a creepy atmosphere throughout the story and I never saw that ending coming.
