A Phantom Lover is a Gothic horror novella written by Vernon Lee. The story follows the protagonist, a young woman named Mrs. Anstruther, who moves into a mysterious and eerie mansion in the English countryside with her husband. Mrs. Anstruther soon becomes haunted by the ghostly presence of a former occupant of the house, a handsome and enigmatic man named Herbert. As she becomes more and more obsessed with Herbert, Mrs. Anstruther's mental and emotional state begins to unravel, leading to a shocking and terrifying conclusion. A Phantom Lover is a classic tale of Gothic horror, filled with suspense, mystery, and supernatural terror. Lee's vivid and atmospheric prose brings the eerie setting and haunting characters to life, making this novella a must-read for fans of the genre.I seemed to see that sanguine sunset, washing like a sea of blood over the heather, to where, by the black pond and the wind-warped firs, there lay the body of Christopher Lovelock, with his dead horse near him, the yellow gravel and lilac ling soaked crimson all around; and above emerged, as out of the redness, the pale blond head covered with the grey hat, the absent eyes, and strange smile of Mrs. Oke. It seemed to me horrible, vulgar, abominable, as if I had got inside a madhouse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
