From a New York Times–bestselling author: In nineteenth-century New England, a desperate young woman’s only refuge becomes an inescapable trap. It was fitting that Miranda Heath’s first glimpse of the forbidding home at Bascomb’s Point was in the fury of a thunderstorm. Despite her late father’s caution to steer clear of his friend Obadiah Bascomb’s New England mansion, Miranda, destitute as she was, had no choice but to accept the old captain’s charitable request. Besides, her father and Obadiah’s adventurous past was as much a part of her heritage as their legendary ship, the Sea Jade. But it’s beyond Miranda’s imaginings when she finds herself swept up in an impetuous marriage with a friend of the Bascomb family, a virtual stranger to her. More victim than bride, and at the mercy of her imposing new mother-in-law as well as Obadiah’s mysterious wife and a threatening housekeeper, Miranda fears the invitation to the isolated house was more a matter of revenge than rescue. She has no way of knowing that buried in her own past is the key to a tragic mystery that’s been left to her to solve—if she’s to make it out of Bascomb’s Point alive. The recipient of the Agatha Award for Lifetime Achievement, Phyllis A. Whitney is “a superb and gifted story teller” (Mary Higgins Clark). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author’s estate.Voir livre

Whatever the reasons given or proffered the reality and known facts are that if you want a really good ghost story to bring that edge of chill, that foreboding of dread, that feeling that in an empty house we are not quite alone and that sometimes the sharp, sheer shock of what just happened is upon us then look no further than ‘The Victorian Ghost Story’ for your reading and listening pleasure. 01 - The Victorian Ghost Story - An Introduction - Volume 1 02 - The Old Nurse's Story by Elizabeth Gaskell 03 - The Miniature by J Y Ackerman 04 - An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street by Sheridan Le Fanu 09 - The Last House in C Street by Mrs Craik 06 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 1 by Edward Bulwer Lytton 07 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 2 by Edward Bulwer Lytton 08 - The Cold Embrace by Mary Elizabeth Braddon 09 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens 10 - The Botathen Ghost from Footprints of Former Men in Far Cornwall by the Reverend R S Hawker 11 - The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth by Rhoda BroughtonVoir livre
