Sure to provide hours of shivery delight for Miss Armstrong's many devotees: Mischief; The Dream Walker; and The Witch's House. Preface by Alice Cromie.
The Dream Walker: An unscrupulous actress is perpetrating a supernatural hoax that has stunned the country. She's the Dream Walker - a mysterious apparition who shows up in two different cities at the same time, then disappears, untraceable. Olivia Hudson, an acting teacher at a private Manhattan girls' school, considers this no more than a mean-spirited prank born of desperation and blind ambition. Until, that is, it tarnishes the deservedly spotless reputation of a beloved, but famous, family friend. Now, Olivia respects a good actress, but when this woman's antics begin to involve murder... someone has to intervene. Someone who can best an actress at her own game... to escape with her life!
The Witch's House: Two professors go missing from their California university. Dissatisfied with the efforts of the police, the devoted wife of one and the neurotic daughter of the other conduct their own investigation. A suave young man joins their search...for reasons of his own.
Mischief: Bunny's parents shouldn't have brought her to New York City, but her father has an important speech to make, and her mother couldn't bear to be away from their darling nine-year-old daughter. And when her mommy and daddy leave for the speech, Bunny will stay in the hotel with a babysitter, sound asleep and perfectly safe. What could possibly go wrong? The sitter is Nell, a plain young woman from Indiana. She puts Bunny to bed and amuses herself in the other room, making prank calls and trying on Bunny's mother's jewelry. So far, all is well. But Nell's dull expression conceals madness, and something is broken inside her mind . . . Source: Goodreads.
