About this audiobook
A man, a house, a ghost, and a murder. This whimsical tale that leads lyrically to a terrible undoing is consistently rated one of the best ghost stories ever written. The twist at the end is wholly unexpected and the reader is left guessing whether, Paul Oleron, a failing novelist is the victim of an evil succubus that haunts his house and his dreams, or he is guilty of a terrible betrayal.
Oliver Onions
Oliver Onions (1873-1961) was an English novelist and short story writer. Born in Yorkshire, Onions studied at London’s National Arts Training Schools for three years before working as a commercial artist, designing posters and illustrating books and magazines. In 1900, encouraged by poet and literary critic Gelett Burgess, Onions published his first novel. He married Berta Ruck, a popular romance writer, in 1909, and soon had two sons. Throughout his career, he wrote dozens of stories and novels, mainly in the genres of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Widdershins (1911), a collection of ghost stories, is perhaps his best-known work, and continues to be regarded as a masterpiece of supernatural terror. Although less popular, his Whom God Hath Sundered trilogy has been recognized as an underappreciated classic of twentieth century literature.
