About this book
"The Hairy Ones Shall Dance" by Gans T. Field is a novel of horror and supernatural investigation written in the late 1930s. The story centers around Talbot Wills, a skeptic and former magician, who becomes embroiled in a terrifying and mysterious adventure during a psychic investigation in a small, seemingly normal town that harbors dark secrets, particularly concerning a medium and something ominous referred to as the Devil's Croft. The opening of the novel sets the stage with a foreboding atmosphere, as Talbot Wills is drawn into a debate about the existence of psychic phenomena with Doctor Otto Zoberg, an advocate for spiritualism. Wills’ skepticism is challenged when they embark on a journey to visit a proficient medium in a secluded town. The narrative emphasizes their conflicting beliefs as they prepare for a séance that may unravel the truth behind ghostly apparitions and lead them into the heart of a terrifying secret involving a gruesome murder. As the sequence of events unfolds, dark forces converge, leading to a nightmarish confrontation that tests Wills's courage and convictions in chilling ways.
