When Jasper learns that the woman he loves is to marry another man — a wealthy Spaniard named Benoliel — his sleepless night turns into a waking nightmare. In the still hours before dawn, he hears a strange and beautiful music: a funeral mass for the dead. But when his beloved Kate confesses she too heard the same ethereal requiem, their destinies become entwined in a chilling mystery that stretches beyond the veil of life and death. 
Driven by love, haunted by fate, and shadowed by the sins of pride and greed, The Mass for the Dead captures the eerie elegance of Victorian gothic fiction — where faith becomes fear and every vow carries a ghostly echo. 
Narrated by Christopher Mireider, this dramatized performance brings E. Nesbit’s rarely heard masterpiece to life with haunting clarity and emotional depth. 
Perfect for fans of Crimson Peak, The Turn of the Screw, and Wuthering Heights.
