Publisher Description

What if the house that promised your greatest novel intended to write the final chapter of your sanity?

First published in 1911, The Beckoning Fair One earned its place among the greatest ghost stories ever written. This modernized edition preserves Oliver Onions' elegantly unsettling prose while updating archaic phrases, allowing contemporary readers to experience the full dread of Paul Oleron's descent.

Inside this edition you'll discover:
A Master Class in Psychological Horror - No jump-scares, only the tightening vice of paranoia, perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House or The Shining.Art vs. Madness - Witness how creative isolation and supernatural seduction twist ambition into self-destruction.Gothic London Atmosphere - Gas lamps, dusty attics, and fog-wreathed courtyards that brood with hidden life.Reader's Companion - Historical notes on Edwardian spiritualism, discussion prompts, and a timeline of key events to deepen the mystery.
Rediscover a story that proves the scariest hauntings happen inside our own skulls-and that the deadliest love affair may be with a house that loves you back.
