Mrs. J. H. Charlotte Riddell

Mrs. J. H. Charlotte Riddell was a Victorian novelist and editor who became one of the most successful women writers of the nineteenth century. Born Charlotte Eliza Lawson Cowan in Ireland in 1832, she wrote under various pen names and produced over forty novels as well as numerous ghost stories. The Uninhabited House is one of her finest supernatural tales — an atmospheric haunted house story that combines gothic chills with social commentary about Victorian property and inheritance. Riddell's ghost stories have been rediscovered by modern readers as masterpieces of the genre. Available as an audiobook and in print, The Uninhabited House appeals to fans of Victorian literature, ghost stories, and classic gothic fiction.
