Sinopsis

Dower House, lush and irresistible, draws people to it like moths to a flame. Among those caught in its spell are James and Nemo Boyce, who buy it, and Harry Harris, who becomes possessed by both the house and its mistress. But disturbing events - the mysterious death of a favorite dog, ghostly music in the woods, fleeting reflections in an old mirror - give warning of another presence. And then, at the BoycesâÇÖ housewarming party, an uninvited guest makes an appearance: Sarah Moore, dazzling actress, beautiful, lustful, murderous - and dead for 150 years. As Nemo begins to undergo a series of bizarre changes, Harry, obsessively in love with her, finds himself swept up into an ever-tightening spiral of tragedy ...One of ValancourtâÇÖs most exciting rediscoveries in years, Rosalind AsheâÇÖs slow-burn Gothic horror tale Moths (1976) was a critical hit on both sides of the Atlantic and earned comparisons to Daphne du MaurierâÇÖs classic Rebecca.'A magical novel, passionate, exciting, and beautifully written.' - Iris Murdoch'Could be a young Daphne du Maurier . . . Fans of Rebecca will be moths to the flame.' - Publishers Weekly'A beautifully written and beautifully constructed novel of mounting fear and terror ... Wonderfully scary, wonderfully exotic ... absolutely riveting.' - Stephen King (on Rosalind AsheâÇÖs Hurricane Wake)'A first novel of power and imagination . . . the conclusion is genuinely frightening.' - The Guardian'A first novel as well crafted as any classic of its kind.'á- The Pittsburgh Press
