An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House : A True Account (Or So It Claims) of a Home No Family Could Keep

Presented as a factual record rather than fiction, this account follows a family driven from their own home by disturbances that defy every rational explanation they try. Doors that won't stay shut. Sounds with no source. And a growing certainty that whatever is in the house has no intention of leaving.Sheridan Le Fanu's gift for making the impossible feel documented — rather than invented — is on full display here. A compact, unsettling piece of Victorian ghost fiction that plays on the oldest fear of all: that your own home might not be entirely yours.
