Raising Demons
Back Cover Text:
Laurie is a small-town mayor, inadequately informed and positive, Jannie a Games Mistress with a bright voice; Sally is a vague stern old lady watching the world with remote disapproval, and Barry a small intrepid foot soldier, following unquestioningly and doggedly. There are sometimes a couple of nervous creatures hovering in the background, making small futile gestures and tending to laugh weakly. Their function is, of couse, unmistakable. They are there to glue the heads back on dolls, sharpen pencils, and pay out weekly allowance. They all live in the house pictured on this jacket, the house with the crooked gatepost.
