About this audiobook
No servant has ever set foot in the haunted chamber. High in the old tower of an ivy-draped castle, behind walls that have kept their bloodstained secrets for generations, it waits in silence. Ghosts of dead-and-gone lords and ladies seem to peer out from its narrow openings, the floorboards still bear the dark stains of a secret duel that claimed both combatants, and the legends whispered about it are enough to make the stoutest heart quail.
Young Sir Adrian Dynecourt is preparing to welcome a party of guests to his ancestral home, and the anticipation is not only for company. Among those arriving is the lovely Miss Florence Delmaine, whose beauty and allure quickly captivate the master of the house. But as the visitors settle in beneath the castle's shadowy gables, the old stories begin to stir, and one guest wastes no time asking whether the chamber lies anywhere near where they will sleep. Soon an uneasy tension arrives as well: Sir Adrian's enigmatic cousin, Arthur Dynecourt, whose intentions threaten to disturb the fragile harmony of the household.
Written by "The Duchess," the pen name of the hugely popular Irish novelist Margaret Wolfe Hungerford, The Haunted Chamber blends the chill of a classic ghost story with the warmth and intrigue of a Victorian romance. Affections are tested, motives are questioned, and the shadow of an old tragedy hangs over every conversation, every corridor and every candlelit evening. Is the chamber merely a legend, or does something truly linger within its walls?
Atmospheric, suspenseful and rich in period charm, this is an ideal listen for lovers of Gothic fiction, haunted-castle tales and romantic mysteries. Dim the lights, settle in, and let the castle tell its story.
