The Beckoning Fair One

Beschreibung

A masterpiece of psychological horror, this novella tells the story of Paul Oleron, a writer who moves into an old, mysterious house to work on his novel. As he becomes increasingly obsessed with the house and a spectral presence known as "The Fair One," reality blurs with hallucination. Onions skillfully weaves themes of madness, isolation, and the supernatural in a slow-building atmosphere of dread.
