Hauntings - Vernon Lee

Bewitching Ghost Stories From Seminal Short Story Writer Vernon Lee, Beautifully Captured In The Smith & Taylor Classics Series. My Ghosts Are What You Call Spurious Ghosts, Of Whom I Can Affirm Only One Thing, That They Haunted Certain Brains, And Have Haunted, Among Others, My Own Shipwrecked Before A Remote Italian Coastal Village, A Young Girl Discovers The Ability To Command Love And Incite Madness; A Polish Historian Is Drawn To The Enigmatic Allure Of A Medieval Duchess With A Deadly Past; A Painter, Hired To Capture The Likeness Of A Reclusive Couple, Slowly Uncovers A Mysterious Love Affair; And A Man With A Voice That Is As Deadly As It Is Beautiful Eats Away At The Health Of Those Who Hear Him Sing, Troubling A Composer Years Later. Once Described By Henry James As Being As Dangerous And Uncanny As She Is Intelligent, Vernon Lee's Ghost Stories Haunt As Much As They Reveal An Obsession With Art, Architecture, And Deadly, Queer Desires.
