The Ghost of Guir House (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161464238)

The Ghost of Guir House is a classic horror novel written by Charles Willing Beale. The story follows a young man named Philip who inherits an old mansion called Guir House from his uncle. He moves into the house with his friend Harry and soon discovers that the house is haunted by a ghostly presence. As they investigate the strange occurrences, they uncover a dark secret from the past that threatens their safety.The novel is set in the early 20th century and features Gothic elements such as a mysterious old mansion, a ghostly presence, and a sense of foreboding. The writing is atmospheric and suspenseful, with vivid descriptions of the eerie setting and the characters' emotions.The Ghost of Guir House is a must-read for fans of classic horror and Gothic fiction. It is a chilling tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.Whatever may have been Mr. Henley's suspicions concerning the implication of the Guirs with the crime which he could no longer doubt had been committed in their house, they were promptly dispelled, so far as the young lady was concerned, upon meeting Dorothy at the breakfast table. Her innocent though serious face was a direct rebuke to any distrust he might have entertained; and he even doubted if she had any knowledge of the state of things he had discovered in the vault. This, of course, only added to the mystery; nor was Mr. Henley's self-esteem fortified by the memory of how unscrupulously he had become the guest of these people, and of how equivocal had been his treatment of their hospitality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
