- Synopsis
- What evil lies within a family&’s secret history? &“A first-class creeper, a literary ghost story in the Victorian tradition&” by the author of The Séance (The Boston Globe). Timid, solitary librarian Gerard Freeman lives for just two things: his elusive pen pal, Alice, and a story he found hidden in his mother&’s drawer years ago. Written by his great-grandmother Viola, it hints at his mother&’s role in a sinister crime. And as he discovers more of Viola&’s chilling tales, he realizes that they might hold the key to finding Alice and unveiling his family&’s mystery. But upon returning to his ancestral home in England, Gerard finds that the stories-within-stories of his past begin to blur the lines between fact, fiction, and fantasy. They&’re also driving him so deep into the dark that he might not be able to see what&’s right in front of him until it&’s too late. &“A haunting literary gothic&” (Booklist) that has earned extraordinary critical acclaim, this novel is &“a Victorian ghost story that honors the likes of Dickens and Henry James . . . A smart, stylish and mesmerizing book&” (The Washington Post Book World). &“Intricate and engrossing. . . . One ghoulishly absorbing read.&” —Entertainment Weekly
