In a gracious house in Mermaid Street, Rye, can be sensed a disturbed alien presence, a restless spirit that seems to be pleading for some service to be performed. In 1784, Toby Lamb, Mayor of Rye, writes down the events that led to the death of his beloved sister Alice. Having completed his tale, he conceals it in a secret closet within his study, once Alice's bedroom. A century later, it is found again, and deciphered by Henry James, then living in the house. the author finds himself increasingly influenced by the house and the presence it contains, so much so that he is forced to leave. The house is eventually let to E.F. Benson and his brother Arthur, who feel unwelcomed by it, not knowing of its unhappy past. Until they disturb its dark side by holding a seance. . .

Lamb House is haunted. This is the story of what might have happened to cause the haunting: the imagined life of Toby Lamb, whose father built the handsome Georgian house, and episodes that occurred during the occupancy of two of its famous literary tenants - Henry James and E.F.Benson.
