基本信息出版社:WILDSIDE PR (2006年3月1日)平装:90页正文语种:英语ISBN:0809500310条形码:9780809500314产品尺寸及重量:14 x 21.6 x 0.6 cm ; 128 gASIN:0809500310商品描述内容简介The Beckoning Fair One is sometimes called the greatest ghost story in the English language; it may well be. Certainly it is one of the questest and most beautiful supernatural tales ever written. It reminds the reader of Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House" -- and that is huge praise indeed. The story tells of British novelist Paul Oleron, who lives restlessly in cramped quarters, looking -- as writers do -- for some way not to work on the project at hand. That is when he sees a vast and beautiful old house for rent. He takes the first floor and moves in. When his friend Elsie Benbough comes to visit, weirdness begins. The house, it seems, does not like Elsie and begins to inflict minor but mean-spirited injuries upon her. Feeling the presence of something evil, she warns Oleron that he will never be able to work there. But Oleron is entranced . . . and then in love . . . and soon obsessed. . . .媒体推荐The Beckoning Fair One is sometimes called the greatest ghost story in the English language; it may well be.
