Slowly, but surely, the conviction had been gaining upon me that, let the mystery of River Hall be what it would, no ordinary explanation could account for the phenomena which it had presented to tenant after tenant; and my own experiences in the house, slight though they were, tended to satisfy me there was something beyond malice or interest at work about the place.

Autorenporträt
Mrs. J. H. Riddell (1832-1906) was an English author known for her contributions to Victorian literature, particularly in the genres of gothic fiction, mystery, and romance. She was a prolific writer, publishing novels, short stories, and novellas that often explored themes of social class, supernatural events, and psychological suspense. Riddell's works were widely read during her time, and she frequently contributed to prominent periodicals. Her writing is often characterized by its atmospheric tension, subtle explorations of human nature, and social commentary. Riddell's best-known works include The Uninhabited House (1868), a gothic novel that delves into the mystery surrounding an abandoned mansion with a dark and eerie history. The novel combines elements of supernatural suspense with an exploration of the psychological effects of fear and isolation. Many of Riddell's stories feature strong, independent female protagonists who confront complex and often supernatural dilemmas, reflecting the challenges women faced in Victorian society.
