Madam Crowl's Ghost and the Dead Sexton is a gothic horror novella written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. The story is set in a small English village and follows the mysterious events that occur after the death of a sexton. The sexton's widow, Madam Crowl, begins to experience strange occurrences and sightings of her deceased husband. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that the sexton's death was not natural and that his ghost is seeking revenge on those who wronged him. The novella explores themes of guilt, revenge, and the supernatural, and is known for its eerie atmosphere and suspenseful plot.On the evening before the tragedy came to light--trifles are always remembered after the catastrophe--a boy, returning along the margin of the mere, passed him by seated on a prostrate trunk of a tree, under the bield of a rock, counting silver money. His lean body and limbs were bent together, his knees were up to his chin, and his long fingers were telling the coins over hurriedly in the hollow of his other hand. He glanced at the boy, as the old English saying is, like the devil looking over Lincoln. But a black and sour look from Mr. Crooke, who never had a smile for a child nor a greeting for a wayfarer, was nothing strange.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
