This audiobook features Elizabeth Gaskell's Gothic tales that blend the real and supernatural to create eerie and compelling stories, ranging from local legends and historical accounts to darkly surreal and playful narratives. Performed by Olivia Forrest, the collection offers a darker side of Gaskell's writing, contrasting her social realism with more unsettling and mysterious tales. An introduction by Laura Keanzler provides additional context for these chilling stories.
