A series of haunting vignettes draws listeners into a world where ordinary moments turn suddenly uncanny. From a terrified bird fleeing a hedge to rooms that seem to dissolve, each scene is painted with vivid, unsettling detail, hinting at forces just beyond perception. The stories blend lingering romance, spectral apparitions, and quiet dread, inviting you to linger on the edge of what is known.
At the heart of the collection is Harriott, a young woman whose love for a naval lieutenant becomes a conduit for lingering grief and strange, almost dreamlike encounters. As she waits beneath elder trees and in a marble pavilion, the boundary between memory and the supernatural blurs, and ordinary settings pulse with an eerie expectancy. The listening experience is both intimate and unsettling, offering a glimpse into lives haunted by longing and the strange shadows that linger just out of sight.

A pioneering English novelist, critic, and suffragist, she helped shape early modernist fiction while writing with unusual psychological depth. Best known today for works like The Life and Death of Harriett Frean and The Three Sisters, she moved easily between popular success and literary experiment.
