The Widow's Lament.
A mourning veil. A whisper in the night. A lament that will not end.
When a young widow takes rooms by the churchyard in Whitethorn, she believes grief will be her only companion. But as the nights grow long and the fog gathers, she begins to hear footsteps that do not belong, whispers that carry her name, and the tolling of a bell that no living hand has rung.
As sorrow deepens into dread, the townsfolk whisper of debts unpaid and voices returned from the grave. Is she haunted by memory, or has Whitethorn kept a secret the living dare not speak?
The Widow's Lament is the first of the Blackthorn Chapbooks by Edwin Blackthorn - a series of Gothic tales in the spirit of the Victorian penny dreadful. Short, chilling, and steeped in atmosphere, these are stories to be read by lamplight when the house is quiet.
