Description
"We often think of the enduring tropes of the Gothic in terms of fiction and film: breath-catching escapes that tap into our fears, anxieties, forbidden desires, and unsettling dreams. But what if some of these chilly vibes are rooted in the experiences of real and tragic people who danced a macabre waltz with love and death? That's why we're here. Take the case of teenage Mercy Brown, victim--or was it predator?--of Rhode Island's vampire hysteria of the 1890s. Marguerite de la Roque, a French noblewoman condemned for 'sexual crimes' to Canada's long-lost Isle of Demons. What happened to her and the barren landscape itself is the stuff of legend. And 'Mad Lucy' Ludwell, the decidedly peculiar eighteenth-century high-society hauteur driven mad in the Virginia estate she prowls to this day. President Helen Peabody's spirit still stringently watches over her Women's College, now part of Ohio's Miami University. Ghosts of workers lost in horrific conditions while building the Hoosac Tunnel warn of imminent danger. Settle in. There are more"--,Provided by publisher.
