Carol, a young girl living in Sixties' London, is repelled yet fascinated by men. Her beauty attracts the opposite sex, but she shrinks from their advances. She spends her days in an intensely female atmosphere but, as she incarcerates herself in a sinister, shadowy flat, men begin to invade her dreams night and day - bizarre sexual hallucinations take hold of her mind and the walls start to crack, literally, before her eyes. Finally, depraved through her delirium, only one instinct towards the men who invade her life is left to her - that of a killer.| Item type | Current library | Class number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item reservations |
