HOUSEHOLDS OF HORROR, Two Grotesque Melodramas for the Stage, by Gavin Bantock This book contains two horrific and suspenseful stage dramas involving crime, murder and suicide and a panoply of remarkable characters. Blind Man's Holiday: In this play, a wealthy but cold-hearted man pretends to be blind in order to deceive his three children. The action includes a gun, weed-killer, and a kitchen knife, and also a tape-recorder. A piece of music by Beethoven brings the action to a hideous, bloody conclusion. House of the Clams: A corrupt and evil-minded couple invite a number of curious persons - already known to them for various outlandish reasons - to join a Treasure Hunt in their lonely house by the sea.
