This anthology takes readers deep into the dark, seductive, and terrifying world of the undead, where fear, obsession, and mystery intertwine.

In “Good Lady Ducayne” by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, a young companion slowly uncovers the horrifying truth behind her employer’s unnaturally prolonged life.

Wilkins Freeman, a haunting story of a woman whose presence mysteriously drains the life from those around her.
