About this book

"A mine has a soul. A derelict mine is a devilish thing. It kills people, unless they take notice of it. ... [The mine'll] not let you destroy its riches by letting in the sea. It'll kill 'ee," yelled Old Man Manack, the owner. Jim Pryce, hard rock miner and Army deserter, encountered madness and murder as he laboured in that mine.
