Wylie Perlitz, who lives in West Nyack with his three cats, has completed his new book “The Mysterious Castle of Dr. X”: a captivating thriller that finds six innocent tourists trapped in a large castle with potentially dangerous and unsavory hosts lying in wait.
“Circa the late eighteenth century, six tourists from Vienna, ‘the big city,’ arrive in the backwoods of Transylvania by horse and carriage on holiday and in search of a quaint rural adventure among the common folks,” writes Perlitz. “A detour leaves them stranded atop a mysterious decrepit, old castle populated by odd noises and an eerily suspicious servant. Along the way, they encounter a colorful thief, strange mutant-like beings, and a beautiful young lab assistant who may not be as she appears. Amid their own bickering, the tourists are led about the castle by the doctor himself, one step behind him and his diabolical plans. Now they must try to survive a stormy night within the mysterious castle of Dr. X.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Wylie Perlitz’s stunning tale will transport readers on a perilous journey as they follow along on an unforgettable night with danger and surprising twists lurking around every corner. Despite their best efforts, not all the six tourists might make it out alive as the evening drags on and the truths about the doctor and his castle come to light. A truly spellbinding experience, readers will not want to miss this breathtaking tale that is sure to hold them tight within its grasp right up until the shocking end.
