Books like Daughter of darkness by Edwina Noone

Name: Daughter of darkness
Author: Edwina Noone

The spirit of Lady Karoleigh Stafford, marked by one fatal death and the omen of more, permeates the walls of Walesly‑Upon‑Thames, where full‑length portraits of her beauty hang and her name echoes in every thought. Though the Lady is dead, her presence lingers in the flesh of her nineteen‑year‑old daughter who is described as “more rain than storm, more shadow than substance.” The pall over the medieval castle will not lift until history repeats itself, and the catalyst for change will be an outsider—another young woman—whose arrival will bring the drama to its climax and tragic end.

First publish date: 1966

Genre: Horror/Gothic Horror

Authors: Edwina Noone
