With a ghastly banshee, a cadaver that's wont stay put, and an infectious and sinister smile, this eerie novel is a masterpiece of the macabre that constitutes a must-read for fans of the genre. Francis Marion Crawford (1854-1909) was an American writer of novels most famous for his notable contributions to classic supernatural and horror fiction.
