Description: WITH characters who seem to be harmless and in a scene which appears to be peaceful and secure, this novel begins quietly. But almost immediately the reader begins to feel the tension that underlies the polite conversation and calm behavior of the opening scenes. This feeling of tension grows quickly into something more sinister and terrifying, and the suspense of the narrative mounts steadily until the dramatic climax. Lie Down in Darkness is a penetrating and exciting story of "respectable" people in a typical metropolitan suburb. Because of the nature of the plot, it would be unfair to the reader to summarize it. But it is necessary to point out that this is not only a gripping and absorbing story: it is a devastating picture of the "society" which it mirrors. This special edition of LIE DOWN IN DARKNESS by H. R. Hays has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Reynal & Hitchcock, New York. Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books In Wartime
