An old, cold house with a heartless secret

Lovely little local ghost story.

Excellent ghost story, perfect slow reveal, sharp as a tack. Classic orphan tale with a nursemaid narrator.

Enjoyed her style of writing. A gothic tale that’s worth a reread in the future.

3.5 stars, I’m eating up these Victorian/gothic short stories wow

The first story was classic Victorian spooky times, not as convoluted and easier to follow than Turn of the Screw but could have used a tad more depth to the backstory. The second story, idk what happened it was like a strange dream with this aristocratic character stumbling upon a party of odd characters, one of whom seemed to be Bluebeard's wife? But you know. Sure.
