M. Alice LeGrow's Bizenghast, takes place in a decrepit former mill town that has since been abandoned and is now completely out of touch with the modern world.
Dinah, a young teenage girl who lost her parents tragically, must now live with her aunt in a huge and scary house in Bizenghast. Poor Dinah--a pretty girl gone totally insane. Though she has moments of clarity, Dinah is out of touch with reality. Her madness does allow her to see the ghosts that inhabit the town, and indeed, the gloomy house in which she lives. Unfortunately for Dinah, the ghosts are piqued by Dinah's presence. They oppress her in the creepy old house ...
But nothing can hold a candle to what happens when Dinah and Vincent - her champion/admirer - stumble upon the ruins of the town's worst secret and are forced to enter into a contract the likes of which are eerily ungodly, to say the least ...
