Synopsis

The town of Mapleview has the reputation of paranormal activity and urban legends. The Trivelli House - one of the oldest, historical buildings in town - has been owned by the family for generations. And it, too, has its legend.
 
Mary, a member of the family, purchases the house from her aunt. She's determined to rid the property of any stigmatism or reputation, as it is the house she has wanted since she was a little girl. But a temporary guest of Mary's moves in with her, and soon disappears.
 
More disappearances follow, and even though the Mapleview police have their most experienced detectives on the case, they can provide no answers. Are the disappearances supernatural, and related to the dark, centuries-old history of Mapleview?

    Wonder Of Women - Victorian...

    Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law.  However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many.  
     
    In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status.  Women were chattel and property.  There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told.  Many did. 
     
    But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms.  However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender. 
     
    Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need.  Narratives had new ideas.  Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility. 
     
    The women included here are talents that dazzle.  Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top.  Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed.

    A modern American family move into a traditionally drafty and very haunted English mansion. So far so good but anyone knowing Wilde can expect twists and turns to make it interesting. In this cast the crusty old ghost has a tough time convincing the family he exists and then in frightening them. This is extremely frustrating of course to him and as the protagonist of the story, takes matters (and non-matters) into his hands to deal with the upstart and irreverent new tenants.
