Synopsis

In "The Wind in the Rose-Bush, and Other Stories of the Supernatural," Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman crafts a collection of tales that explore the intersection of the mundane and the eerie. Drawing from her New England roots, Freeman's literary style features intricate character development and atmospheric detail, which immerse readers in the psychological landscape of her protagonists. Each story showcases her deft ability to evoke suspense and supernatural intrigue, reflecting the rising fascination with paranormal phenomena in late 19th-century American literature. The stories deftly balance realism with elements of the uncanny, often leaving readers with unsettling questions about the nature of reality and the unseen forces that may influence it. Freeman, a prominent figure in American literature, was one of the first women to write about the complexities of rural life and supernatural themes, often drawing from her personal experiences in a small New England town. Her work resonates deeply with themes of isolation and societal expectations, both of which can be observed in the lives of her characters. Wilkins Freeman's background, which includes a strong advocacy for women's voices in literature, profoundly informs her exploration of supernatural motifs, often framing them as reflections of societal anxieties. This collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of supernatural fiction and those intrigued by the societal constraints of Freeman's era. The stories, rich in psychological depth and eerie twists, will captivate readers seeking to explore the boundaries of the known and the unknown, offering an insightful examination of the shadowy undercurrents that swirl beneath the surface of everyday life.

    House of Shadows is Part One of a three part series. Both Veil of Shadows, Part Two and Passage of Shadows, Part Three, are avalable on Amazon, as well.  
    After losing her father and nearly losing her life when their ship sank off the coast of Cornwall, Adelaide Hampton Parke is faced with a terrible dilemma. Her stepmother has demanded that they immediately set sail for New York but the very idea of stepping foot on board another ship and facing the uncertainty of a Transatlantic crossing leaves her paralyzed with fear. Not to mention that her relationship with her stepmother is contentious at best and she's been given only six months to return to New York and find herself a husband or be put out of the family's Park Avenue home to make her own way in the world.  
    Salvation comes, unexpectedly, in the form of a telegram from Eldren Llewellyn a Welsh lord and the sole owner of a mining empire. He'd partnered with her father in multiple business ventures, and upon the man's death, proposed to Adelaide in order to spare her the ordeal of returning home in her stepmother's less than tender care. But as she travels to his remote estate in Snowdonia, Adelaide comes to realize that his ancestral home, Cysgod Lys, literally the Shadow Hall, is filled with secrets and dark things she cannot name. Fear is her constant companion and she begins to wonder if her new husband is her savior... or her doom.

    Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, initially published under her pen name Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with Earnshaw's foster son, Heathcliff. The novel was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction. Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but contemporaneous reviews were polarised. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, and for its challenges to Victorian morality and religious and societal values. Wuthering Heights was accepted by publisher Thomas Newby along with Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, but they were published later. Charlotte edited a second edition of Wuthering Heights after Emily's death which was published in 1850. It has inspired an array of adaptations across several media, including English singer-songwriter Kate Bush's song of the same name.
