[EAN: 9781934555088], Neubuch, [PU: Valancourt Books], nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Years ago, it is said, 'Moordenaar's Hoek' (Afrikaans for 'Deadly' or 'Murderer's Hollow') witnessed a horrible tragedy. Gert Van Niekerk, a Boer farmer, murdered his brother in cold blood during a terrible storm. Hanged for his crime, Van Niekerk's ghost haunts the land in the form of a spectral leopard that can appear and disappear at will. And, according to local legend, a 'blood curse' haunts the Hollow, where, on dark and stormy nights, the horrible murder is re-enacted. Custance, a recluse with a mysterious past, takes up residence at Deadly Hollow. Troubled by his painful memories, Custance thinks he has finally found redemption and a chance at new life when he falls in love with his neighbour, the beautiful young Ida Rendlesham. But their lovers' bliss is short-lived. For on a dreary and tempestuous night, Deadly Hollow will witness the fulfilment of the blood curse: a savage murder . . . and a brutal revenge! First published in 1891 and out of print for more than a century, The Weird of Deadly Hollow was one of Bertram Mitford's most popular novels. Featuring a mixture of romance and terror that builds slowly, but inevitably, towards an unthinkable climax--complete with one of the most shocking scenes of torture in all of English-language fiction--Mitford's novel remains as thrilling today as when first published. This edition includes a new introduction and notes by Gerald Monsman, as well as the complete text of two of Mitford's inspirations: Wordsworth's 'Hart-Leap Well' and Thomas Hood's 'The Haunted House.' 212 pp. Englisch, Books<
