  While staying at an eerie Irish castle, a woman is caught up in a family’s dark secrets, in this suspenseful tale by a New York Times–bestselling author.  For Cathleen Lamb, traveling to Dublin to record the history of the mystery-shrouded O’Riordan family is the answer to a prayer. Still grieving over the accident that killed her husband and baby daughter, she hopes to lose herself in other people’s lives. But something sinister is going on at the ancient castle at the edge of the moors . . . something beyond the scandalous skeletons rattling around the O’Riordans’ closets. The former heir was killed three years earlier in a suspicious fall. The same night, the family matriarch suffered a stroke that left her mute. Despite the malice that surrounds her, Cathleen is drawn to the brooding, darkly passionate man who is plotting to control the family. But even he may not be able to protect her when the crimes of the past reach into the present to terrorize the living.

  "The Golem" by Gustav Meyrink is a mesmerizing novel that blends Gothic elements with mysticism, set in the mysterious backdrop of Prague's Jewish ghetto at the beginning of the 20th century. 
  The main protagonist, Athanasius Pernath, a gem engraver, receives a mysterious book for restoration one day. This event becomes the catalyst for a series of extraordinary occurrences that force him to confront his own demons and the enigma of his identity. As the story unfolds, reality intertwines with dreams, present with past, and mystical Jewish legends become entangled with the dark reality of Prague's ghetto. 
  At the heart of the narrative lies the legend of the Golem - an artificial man created from clay by a medieval rabbi, who according to urban legends returns to Prague's streets every 33 years. However, in Meyrink's novel, the Golem becomes more than just a folkloric figure - it transforms into a symbol of the deeply rooted fears and desires of the ghetto's inhabitants.
