'Disappearances', inspired by local legends of mysterious vanishings, mixes gossip and fact; 'Lois the Witch', a novella based on an account of the Salem witch hunts, shows how sexual desire and jealousy lead to hysteria; while in 'The Old Nurse's Story' a mysterious child roams the freezing Northumberland moors. Whether darkly surreal, such as 'The Poor Clare', where an evil doppelg\"anger is formed by a woman's bitter curse, or mischievous like 'Curious, if True', a playful reworking of fairy tales, all the stories in this volume form a stark contrast to the social realism of Gaskell's novels, revealing a darker and more unsettling style of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140437416\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 0.77 Inches, Length: 7.78 Inches, Weight: 0.63272669194 Pounds, Width: 5.06 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth Gaskell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863318036787,"sku":"9780140437416","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/27261933482237.jpg?v=1754194008","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/gothic-tales","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
