Elizabeth Gaskell's The Old Nurse's Story

When a young nurse is sent to care for a child at a remote and isolated family estate in northern England, she soon becomes consumed by the family's dark and tragic history.

This classic ghost story is a masterful example of gothic literature with its vivid imagery and haunting atmosphere. As a young nurse attempts to raise a small child in an eerily lonely house, she begins to unravel the family's unsettling secrets. Every sound is a harbinger of doom as the nurse becomes convinced that a malevolent spirit is lurking in the child's ancestral home.

This volume is part of the Mothers of the Macabre series, celebrating the gothic horror masterpieces of pioneering women writers who played a pivotal role in shaping and advancing the genre. First published in 1852, Elizabeth Gaskell skilfully weaves together themes of family, identity, and the supernatural in this timeless horror classic. There's no escape from the haunting grip The Old Nurse's Story will have on your imagination.
