A Whisper in the Dark: Twelve Thrilling Tales by Louisa May Alcott
()
About this ebook
The book takes its title from the tale "A Whisper in the Dark," arguably Alcotts high-gothic masterpiece, a story of imperiled innocence. Also featured are: "The Abbots Ghost," one of Alcotts few thrillers that employs the supernatural; "Perilous Play," a sensationalist story in which she suggests that with the appropriate stimulation--in this case hashish--even the innocent reveal a dark side; and V.V.; or Plots and Counterplots, fraught with passion and jealousy that introduces the mysterious Virginie Varens, the darkest heroine in all of her work.
