Sheridan Le Fanu’s 1872 novella is pure Gothic dread: an isolated castle, a beautiful stranger, and the slow realization that something unnatural has been invited inside.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

@mrebeccawildsmith.bsky.socialCemeteries are dangerous places for writers.
You go in intending to admire the old stones and architecture, and five minutes later, you’ve invented a disgraced widow.
