[Strange Event in the Life of] Schalken the Painter by Sheridan Le Fanu • • The painter Godfried Schalcken sees his true love, Rose, the niece of the artist Gerrit Dou, wedded by contract for a large sum of money to Vanderhausen of Rotterdam, a strange and ghostly figure. Filled with dread, Rose begs Schalcken to run off with her to save her from the marriage, but he is cowardly and ambitious and wants to continue his studies with Dou; instead he says he will buy back the marriage contract when he is successful. • The marriage goes ahead as agreed, and nothing is heard of Rose until she escapes some time later and returns home distraught and starving and begging for protection, but she is pursued by her ghostly husband and disappears. • On the death of Dou a melancholy Schalcken lingers in the church after the funeral service, where a terrifying encounter with his former love leaves his senses reeling • A collection of pieces, read by candlelight, about the unreal edges of this world in legend and story; tales of love, death and beyond. If just one story prickles the hair on the back of your neck, or prickles your eyelids with the touch of tears, I will have succeeded. • #horrorlover • #horrorfanatic • #horrorcommunity • #horrorstory • #gothicfiction • #audiobooks • #gothichorrornovel • #gothicfiction • #gothic • #victorian • #scary • #haunted • #ghosts • #hauntedhouse • #macabre • #stalker • #nightmare • #paranormal
