Wicked Captain Walshawe, Of Wauling : A Disgraced Officer, a Contested Inheritance, and a Ghost With a Score to Settle
Captain Walshawe was no one's idea of an honest man while he lived — a soldier of fortune with a talent for cruelty and a knack for landing on the right side of every dishonest bargain. When an inheritance dispute reopens old wounds long after his death, the estate of Wauling makes it clear that the wicked captain has no intention of staying quietly in his grave.A sharp, blackly comic entry in Le Fanu's ghost story catalogue — equal parts haunted-house tale and character study of a genuinely rotten man who remains menacing even as a spirit. Ideal for readers who like their Victorian hauntings with a vein of dark irony.
