A woman travels to a remote island on the edge of the moors to unravel the truth about a past she can’t remember in master of suspense Jennifer Wilde’s spellbinding Gothic romance Jane Danver has no memory of her first seven years at her family’s ancestral estate on the isolated island of Danmoor. Now eighteen, she has been summoned home by her guardian to the place that still lives in her nightmares and fills her with terror. Tyrannical Charles Danver instills fear in the local villagers. His ne’er-do-well son, Brence, both frightens and attracts Jane, and the mysterious French housekeeper spies on her. Jane has only one ally: mysterious Jamintha, who believes that something is dangerously amiss at the mansion. As Jane’s memory starts to return—with the help of handsome, dedicated Dr. Gavin Clark—she journeys back to a time and place that have left their mark on her forever. But deadly peril waits within the ruins of the house’s west wing—an evil that could keep Jane from ever leaving Danver Hall again.Show book

"The Street" is a short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in late 1919 and first published in the December 1920 issue of the Wolverine amateur journal. The story traces the history of the eponymous street in a New England city, presumably Boston, from its first beginnings as a path in colonial times to a quasi-supernatural occurrence in the years immediately following World War I. As the city grows up around the street, it is planted with many trees and built along with "simple, beautiful houses of brick and wood," each with a rose garden. As the Industrial Revolution runs its course, the area degenerates into a run-down, polluted slum, with all of the street's old houses falling into disrepair...Show book
