Le Fanu's vivid descriptions and suspenseful plot make this book a thrilling read for fans of gothic literature.This man had come as noiselessly as a ghost; and everything he did was accomplished with the rapidity and decision that indicated a well-defined and pre-arranged plan. His designs were evidently sinister. I thought he was going to rob and, perhaps, murder me. I lay, nevertheless, like a corpse under his hands. He inserted his hand in my breast pocket, from which he took my precious white rose and all the letters it contained, among which was a paper of some consequence to me.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
