A baronet inherits more than a title and a crumbling estate — he inherits a family history soaked in old wrongs, and a house that seems determined to make him pay for debts he never personally incurred. As the disturbances escalate, it becomes clear that no amount of denial will let him outrun what his ancestors left behind.
One of Sheridan Le Fanu's longer, more novelistic ghost stories, with room to build a genuinely oppressive sense of inherited doom. A satisfying slow-burn haunting for readers who want their gothic fiction with a full family history behind the scares.
