I'm the King of the Castle by Susan Hill

'I didn't want you to come here'. So says the note that the boy Edmund Hooper passes to Charles Kingshaw upon his arrival at Warings. But young Kingshaw and his mother have come to live with Hooper and his father in the ugly, isolated Victorian house for good. To Hooper, Kingshaw is an intruder, a boy to be subtly persecuted, and Kingshaw finds that even the most ordinary object can be turned by Hooper into a source of terror. In Hang Wood their roles are briefly reversed, but Kingshaw knows Hooper will never let him be. Kingshaw connot win, not in the last resort. He knows it, and so does Hooper. And the worst is still to come... This 1977 Penguin (Non-Classics) Paperback is in fair condition.
