Produktbeschreibung
In the shadowed corridors of a Victorian manor, where the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, lies a tale long forgotten. This compelling short story collection, once out of print for decades, has now been meticulously republished by Alpha Editions. Fans of gothic literature and historical fiction enthusiasts will find themselves ensnared by the psychological suspense woven through these narratives, each one a testament to the eerie allure of 19th century England. Set against a backdrop of intricate Victorian architecture, the stories capture the essence of a bygone era, where ghostly apparitions and supernatural mysteries were as much a part of the landscape as the fog-laden moors. The collection resonates with the same haunting charm that captivated readers of Arthur Conan Doyle and H.G. Wells, offering a glimpse into the darker recesses of the Victorian era setting. This edition is not just a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, restored for today's and future generations. Its revival is a tribute to the timeless nature of Victorian gothic fiction, inviting new readers to explore its depths and seasoned collectors to rediscover its hidden gems. As you turn each page, prepare to be transported to a world where every shadow holds a secret, and every whisper hints at the unknown.
