Dark power
Dark Power is a 1930 novel by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding, an American writer later admired for her psychological suspense. After her sister Angelina's whirlwind wedding, Di is left alone, tired and without a penny, and accepts a place as secretary to her strange and domineering Aunt Emma. In her aunt's house she finds unsettling children, a locked room, a forbidding atmosphere and a mystery surrounding a disappearance, and she is warned not to leave the house. Holding builds a mood of unease out of family tension, deception and psychological pressure rather than violence.
