The Shadowy Third (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

About this book

From the mind of Ellen Glasgow, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and master chronicler of the American South, comes a chilling classic that merges Southern domestic realism with profound psychological horror.

The Shadowy Third is narrated by a young nurse who comes to care for the fragile wife of the esteemed, yet unsettling, Dr. Hugh Vye. As the nurse observes the oppressive atmosphere of the household, she begins to sense a terrifying truth: their quiet domestic world is haunted by the presence of a dead child. The boy appears as a silent, heartbreaking witness to the living, seemingly ignored by the skeptical doctor. As the hauntings intensify, the nurse realises the ghost is not merely a memory, but a desperate, final attempt to expose the doctor's monstrous secret and the crime that remains buried beneath his respectable facade.

This story is an essential read for fans of Southern Gothic, classic ghost stories, and powerful tales of domestic suspense where the supernatural is used to illuminate human malice.
