Description

Set against the backdrop of fin de siècle France, this collection of gothic tales immerses readers in an atmosphere rich with haunting beauty and dark intrigue. Each story unfolds with a sense of eerie elegance, revealing the shadows lurking beneath the surface of the seemingly glamorous era. Tanith Lee’s exquisite prose captures the essence of a world where the boundary between life and death blurs, drawing readers into encounters with the supernatural and the macabre.

As the narratives weave together themes of love, loss, and the uncanny, they evoke an emotional resonance that lingers well beyond the final page. Lee's vivid imagination and mastery of tone offer a timeless exploration of the human psyche, illuminating the fears and desires that haunt us all. The tales serve not only as a reflection of a bygone time but also as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling to captivate and unsettle.
