SynopsisPriestley is one of the finest and most popular storytellers of the last hundred years. - Dame Margaret Drabble Abundant life flows through J.B. Priestleys books. He was the last of his kind. - Stan Barstow J.B. Priestley is one of our literary icons of the 20th century. And it is time that we all became re-acquainted with his genius. - Dame Judi Dench Philip and Margaret Waverton and their friend Roger Penderel are driving through the mountains of Wales when a torrential downpour washes away the road and forces them to seek shelter for the night. They take refuge in an ancient, crumbling mansion inhabited by the strange and sinister Femm family and their brutish servant Morgan. Determined to make the best of the circumstances, the benighted travellers drink, talk, and play games to pass the time while the storm rages outside. But as the night progresses and tensions rise, dangerous and unexpected secrets emerge. On the houses top floor are two locked doors; behind one of them lies the mysterious, unseen Sir Roderick Femm, and behind the other lurks an unspeakable terror. Which is more deadly: the apocalyptic storm outside the house or the unknown horrors that await within? And will any of them survive the night? "Benighted" (1927), a classic old dark house novel of psychological terror, was the second novel by J. B. Priestley (1894-1984), better known for his classics "The Good Companions" (1929), "Angel Pavement" (1930) and "Bright Day" (1946). The basis for James Whales 1932 film "The Old Dark House," "Benighted" returns to print for the first time in fifty years. This edition includes the unabridged text of the first British edition, a new introduction by Orrin Grey, and a reproduction of the rare jacket art of the 1927 Heinemann edition.
