Summary

“[An] engrossing blend of romance and gothic mystery. The suspense is well done in a fine story line with plenty of unpredictable twists and turns.” —Midwest Book Review 
 
Damaris Gordon shuddered at the thought of working for the cruel and bitter Master of Blacktower—but her father’s death left her no choice. Suddenly her fate—her life itself—was in the black silk-gloved hands of Gavin Hamilton, a man scarred and tortured by an unspoken past, whose mocking laughter echoes through his ancient Scottish estate. Damaris has heard the whispers that accuse Gavin Hamilton of his wife’s death and his young daughter’s crippling injury. But the pain and sadness barely hidden behind his blazing dark stare touch Damaris deeply—and a courageous heart is luring her to the estate’s topmost tower in search of his dangerous secrets.

    Spooky. Weird. and a tale well told as Wilkie Collins does so well.    
    A medical man who had gone to another town for a consultation encountered a hotel landlord and heard a rather odd tale about an old man in his employ. This man would only sleep during the day because of horrible dreams that plagued him at night. The medical man’s interest was piqued believing he may be able to help this man, so he asked the landlord to tell him everything he knew about this man’s past life. Over lunch, the medical man settled in to hear the “extravagant and incredible” story from the landlord. And as he spoke, the story within a story began. 
    If you’re not quite a horror fan, but enjoy spooky little tales, try this one.
