About this book
Orphaned and made an heiress, young Maud Ruthyn is sent to live with her father's estranged brother Silas, a recluse whose reputation never recovered from a guest's mysterious death years earlier at his crumbling mansion, Bartram-Haugh. As doors lock, servants turn strange, and escape grows impossible, Maud slowly grasps that her inheritance may be worth far more to her guardian than her life. Le Fanu's best-known novel is a masterclass in slow-burning menace, claustrophobia, and the helplessness of a young woman surrounded by people she cannot trust. First published in 1864, it remains a cornerstone of Victorian Gothic and an early model for the locked-house thriller. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available to download.
