Charles Dexter Ward's wife enlists the help of a private detective to find out what her husband is up to in a remote cabin owned by his family for centuries. The husband is a chemical engineer, and the smells from his experiments (and the delivery of what appear to be human remains at all hours) are beginning to arouse the attention of neighbors and local law enforcement officials.
A creeping dread permeates this atmospheric tale. Unseen horrors and disturbing experiments fester in isolation, promising a descent into madness. The unsettling mystery unravels with a palpable sense of unease and gruesome discovery.
