In this captivating blend of gothic horror, romance, and psychological intrigue, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu invites readers into the crumbling halls of the Wyvern estate—a place where secrets fester and danger walks in shadows. When young Alice Maybell is taken into the household of the enigmatic Squire Fairfield, she becomes entangled in a world of repressed passions, family curses, and unexplained deaths. As a creeping dread takes hold, Alice must navigate a maze of lies, forbidden love, and spectral forces that refuse to be silenced. Rich in Victorian atmosphere and moral complexity, The Wyvern Mystery is a chilling portrait of domestic terror and the tragic weight of inheritance. A true classic of gothic fiction, it is Le Fanu at his most gripping and mysterious.
