About This Item
St. Martin's Press. New. New Practical, unassuming Jane Shoringfield has done the calculations, and decided that the most secure path forward is this: a husband, in a marriage of convenience, who will allow her to remain independent and occupied with meaningful work Her first choice, the dashing but reclusive doctor Augustine Lawrence, agrees to her proposal with only one condition: that she must never visit Lindridge Hall, his crumbling family manor outside of town
Yet on their wedding night, an accident strands her at his door in a pitch-black rainstorm, and she finds him changed Gone is the bold, courageous surgeon, and in his place is a terrified, paranoid man?one who cannot tell reality from nightmare, and fears Jane is an apparition, come to haunt him By morning, Augustine is himself again, but Jane knows something is deeply wrong at Lindridge Hall, and with the man she has so hastily bound her safety to
Set in a dark-mirror version of post-war England, Caitlin Starling crafts a new kind of gothic horror from the bones of the beloved canon This Crimson Peak-inspired story assembles, then upends, every expectation set in place by Shirley Jackson and Rebecca, and will leave readers shaken, desperate to begin again as soon as they are finished
"Don't read this one alone at night; Caitlin Starling has done it again Unsettling, atmospheric, and downright brutal at times, The Death of Jane Lawrence will continue to haunt you long after you leave Lindridge Hallif the house lets you leave, that is" ?Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart
