"The Jade God" by Alan Sullivan is a captivating mystery set in the atmospheric confines of Beech Lodge, an old English manor. The story begins with Mr. Jarrad and Mr. Dawkins, two inventory clerks, assessing the contents of the house. They discuss the peculiar history of the manor, particularly the mysterious death of its former owner, Mr. Millicent, who was found dead in his study under suspicious circumstances. The house is then rented by John Derrick, a writer seeking solitude to work on his book, and his sister Edith. From the moment they arrive, Derrick feels an inexplicable connection to the house, especially the study where Millicent died. Perkins, the enigmatic housemaid who has been with the house through its various owners, adds to the mystery. Her presence is almost as integral to the house as its walls, and she seems to know more about its secrets than she reveals. Edith, while practical and grounded, is unsettled by the house's atmosphere and Perkins's cryptic demeanor. As Derrick settles into his new environment, he becomes increasingly aware of the house's past and its lingering influence. The narrative weaves a rich tapestry of suspense, exploring themes of memory, the supernatural, and the unseen forces that shape human lives. The story is a masterful blend of psychological intrigue and gothic elements, drawing readers into a world where the past and present are inextricably linked. Sullivan's skillful storytelling and vivid descriptions create a hauntingly immersive experience, leaving readers questioning the nature of reality and the boundaries between the living and the dead.
