Set in Victorian England, this book is a disturbing gothic story that will send shivers down your spine. Hardly married for a few months, Elsie has become a widow and is sent to live at her late husband’s crumbling estate, The Bridge. Surrounded by resentful servants, Elsie has only her husband’s awkward cousin for company. But the new home is no less hostile, as suddenly closed rooms open, and she encounters painted wooden figures that terrify the servants of The Bridge with their restless, following eyes.
