The Séance by John Harwood - 328 p.
This
deliciously creepy gothic, set in the Victorian English countryside, hits all
the right notes: Ancient decaying mansion surrounded by a gloomy forest –
check. Apparitions, spiritualists and mysterious mishaps (as well as naysayers
and skeptics) – check. Star-crossed lovers and crazy mothers – check! The book
is written from several viewpoints at different time periods, and the story
threads wind closer and closer until all is revealed, and not exactly how one
would have expected. Very fun read!
