A story told by ghosts, of gloomy houses and heartbreak, written in a flitting, fleeting near-experimental Gothic style, the prose rippling and skipping across the page like a stone across a moonlit lake. Dust jacket and illustrations by the great Felix Kelly, in his peerlessly penumbral style. All atmosphere, all dream, dust and melancholy. Haunting; extraordinary. I’ve never read anything quite like it. #johnrosenberg #thedesperateart #felixkelly #1955 #ghoststory #weirdliterature #illustrateddustjacket #firstedition #gothic #autumnal #whentheclocksgoback #autumnalreading #consolationsforgloomyevenings #whenthedarkdescends #books #bookstagram #bibliophilia https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxeMIWnuBd/?igshid=15gtzodhnm1xd
