The Ebony Frame

He should never have looked at that painting. When a young man inherits a strange ebony frame from his late aunt, he becomes bewitched by the portrait within — a woman of impossible beauty who seems more alive with each passing glance. What begins as fascination quickly darkens into obsession. But the woman in the ebony frame is not what she seems, and the price of her love may be his very soul. A jewel of Edwardian ghost fiction, Nesbit's chilling tale proves that the dead do not always stay where they belong. For readers who believe a painting can watch you back.
