The Death of Jane Lawrence

In The Death of Jane Lawrence, a gothic fantasy horror novel by Caitlin Starling, practical Jane Shoringfield enters a marriage of convenience with the reclusive doctor Augustine Lawrence, who imposes one unusual condition: she must never visit his family manor, Lindridge Hall. On their wedding night, a storm forces Jane to confront a changed Augustine, who oscillates between reality and nightmare, fearing she is a ghostly apparition. Set in a darkly reimagined post-war England, this gripping tale weaves elements of love, horror, and the eerie atmosphere reminiscent of classic Gothic fiction, promising a haunting journey that lingers long after the last page.
