Dower House, lush and irresistible, draws people to it like moths to a flame. Among those caught in its spell are James and Nemo Boyce, who buy it, and Harry Harris, who becomes possessed by both the house and its mistress. But disturbing events - the mysterious death of a favorite dog, ghostly music in the woods, fleeting reflections in an old mirror - give warning of another presence. And then, at the Boyces' housewarming party, an uninvited guest makes an appearance: Sarah Moore, dazzling actress, beautiful, lustful, murderous - and dead for 150 years. As Nemo begins to undergo a series of bizarre changes, Harry, obsessively in love with her, finds himself swept up into an ever-tightening spiral of tragedy ... One of Valancourt's most exciting rediscoveries in years, Rosalind Ashe's slow-burn Gothic horror tale Moths (1976) was a critical hit on both sides of the Atlantic and earned comparisons to Daphne du Maurier's classic Rebecca. "A magical novel, passionate, exciting, and beautifully written." - Iris Murdoch "Could be a young Daphne du Maurier . . . Fans of Rebecca will be moths to the flame." - Publishers Weekly "A beautifully written and beautifully constructed novel of mounting fear and terror ... Wonderfully scary, wonderfully exotic ... absolutely riveting." - Stephen King (on Rosalind Ashe's Hurricane Wake) "A first novel of power and imagination . . . the conclusion is genuinely frightening." - The Guardian "A first novel as well crafted as any classic of its kind." - The Pittsburgh Press
