Length: 16 hrs and 25 mins, Elizabeth Gaskells chilling Gothic Tales blends the real and the supernatural to eerie, compelling effect. 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 Nurses Story, a mysterious child roams the freezing Northumberland moors. Whether darkly surreal, such as The Poor Clare, where an evil doppelgnger is formed by a womans 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 Gaskells novels, revealing a darker and more unsettling style of writing., ******, Please seed and keep the torrent alive. Drop me a PM on the forum if you have any issues or if the torrent needs seeding. Thanks! :)
