    'A spectre of a woman hides a dagger in her hair. But is she victim or villain?

    'A miser leaves his fortune to whoever can find it, but with his ghost lurking about, who has the courage to uncover it?

    'In the emptiness of the Australian bush, no one can hear you scream. So what happens when you come face to face with the ghost of a hanged man?

    'When shadows come alive and secrets thicken the air, who will remain sane long enough to solve these otherworldly mysteries? This triptych of haunting tales revives the work of forgotten nineteenth-century Australian writers: women whose lives remain as ghostly and mysterious as the stories themselves.

    'From the English manor to the Australian bush, the Gothic genre comes alive in this book to haunt the reader with its tales of love and tragedy, murder and prejudice, and terror and the supernatural, making it the perfect read for lovers of Australian and Gothic literature.'
