Description
This terrifying memoir of a truly haunted life has been out-of-print for decades, meaning a whole generation of horror fans may not be familiar with the terrifying story behind it. Jan Bryant Bartell lived for over a decade at 14 West 10th Street, a townhouse in NYC that was so plagued by paranormal activity it earned the nickname the “House of Death.” Bartell and her husband finally had to flee, but not before she put her experiences down on paper in the form of her 1974 memoir, Spindrift: Spray from a Psychic Sea. Unfortunately, Bartell claimed the spirits of the House of Death followed her to her new home, and she died under mysterious circumstances just before the book was published.
