What is The apparition about?

'Ramona Stewart's new novel The Apparition is a compulsively readable story which draws on the supernatural and yet remains firmly grounded in a recognisable human landscape.Paul Timberley is an archeologist, 'a seasoned traveller in the land of the dead' who is beginning to be bored by successful academic life. He has a civilized relationship with a sensible mistress, is devoted to his rheumatic old dog, and is somewhat worried about his son Chris. Chris is an underground movie-maker who works surrounded by a court of revolutionary runaways who depend on drugs for their drive and frenzy. He is filming in a vast, crumbling New York mansion, turned into a place of fantasy by his bizarre entourage. Any ghostly presence appearing there must surely be produced by hallucinogens, and nothing to do with the rather square professor who has come to see his son and drifts diffidently about on the fringes of the exotic goings-on.The disturbing thing is that presence - for one does appear - manifest itself far more powerfully to the father than it does to the son. It - or she - is a tantalizing waif who fills Paul with an intense longing and appears to be connected with the magical cult object
