My Bones and My Flute

A tense, eerie ghost story, set in pre-independence Guyana, by one of the country's greatest writers. Deep in the Guyanese jungle the bones of a Dutch plantation owner lie unburied on the forest floor; nearby his old timber mill stands deserted. Oppressive and sinister memories of an occult past linger menacingly over the mill. And always the haunting, insistent sound of a phantom flute. Journeying up-river the Nevinson family and a young artist come to visit the plantation, unaware that a nightmarish curse is reaching its terrifying climax.
