Book description
Silas Rutvyn is something of a riddle. To some, including his
niece, he is something of a ghost. As Le Fanu gradually unfolds the
layers of this story, we are irresistibly drawn into his world. There
are, however, no simple answer. Le Fanu, whose writing inspired such
classics as Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', is a masterful storyteller, and
this work does not disappoint. From the writer of such works as
'Through a Glass Darkly' and 'The House by the Churchyard', this eerie
and chilling tale is one of the finest examples of his art.
