""I hear from Mrs Barlow, who is a good gossip, that your mother and your sister are both ill. You must, then, have very little company."" ""Very little human company,"" she replied.

On a moonlit night, a man dressed as the Devil arrives at the door of the ill-omened Holcot Grange

the hereditary owner of the manor which has been uninhabited for two generations, he has come to escape his past and proceeds to reclaim his seat. But the tenants are not passive to his new tenure. As he is enthralled by the aura of one of the current denizens, the otherworldly Julia Roseingrave, a sultry romance begins to bubble, overlooked always by the shadow of conflict and the spectre of death.

A deliciously atmospheric novella blending witchcraft and superstition with the Gothic trappings of a cursed love, this edition will also be complete with a number of companion short stories by Marjorie Bowen.
