Gradually the embers grew paler; the figures in the tapestry more shadowy; the columned and curtained bed loomed out vaguer; the room seemed to fill with greyness; and my eyes wandered to the mullioned bow-window, beyond whose panes, between whose heavy stonework, stretched a greyish-brown expanse of sore and sodden park grass, dotted with big oaks; while far off, behind a jagged fringe of dark Scotch firs, the wet sky was suffused with the blood-red of the sunset... "Miss Violet Paget, whose nom-de-plume is Vernon Lee, has a strange genius, or, perhaps, one would rather say a genius for the strange and the horrible that sometimes falls little short of being grotesque. She has the divination that sees the possible hidden undercurrents of the tragedy of life. It may not improbably be the verdict of the future that Vernon Lee at the present time is not receiving anything like the recognition due her marvelous power." -The Literary News "Probably the best shilling story since 'Dr. Jekyll.' It is short; it is startling....One is fascinated, and offended, and finally appalled." -St. James Gazette "Vernon Lee has the enviable faculty of investing each and all her works with the charm of brilliant originality. Thus this 'fantastic story' has a grace and a weird pathos that distinguish it from other tales." -Morning Post "Everything Vernon Lee writes bears the stamp of genius." -Manchester Examiner "Her work has always disclosed a morbid tendency, and this story follows in the line of its predecessors. It is extremely well told, skillfully planned to produce and deep and definite impression by suggestion rather than by direct statement, and it is very interesting. As a psychological study it is full of acuteness and power." -The Book Buyer "Few persons besides the gifted an original author of 'Euphorion' and 'Baldwin' would have thought out this ingenious, weird, uncomfortable, psychological story. It is of about the compass of a magazine article, though made into a book by itself. It is a painter's narrative of what befell him in a fine old English country house while he was at work on the portrait of its mistress, Mrs. Oke. There had been a Mrs. Oke of Okehurst, centuries before, and her portrait was now hanging on the walls. That Mrs. Oke had had a lover, Christopher Lovelock, and Lovelock, so tradition ran, had been murdered by his mistress and her husband. The present Mrs. Oke is pleased to personate the former Mrs. Oke by means of dress and all other means in her powre, and in time teases her adoring husband into the hallucination that she is pursued by a phantom Lovelock lover as her namesake was in reality of old. Fired by this hallucination into a frenzy of jealous hatred, he levels his pistol at the supposed phantom and shoots his wife dead. The verdict was 'momentary madness.' This is Vernon Lee's story of it." -The Literary World "Whatever Vernon Lee attempts to do, she does with great order; she writes admirably....In 'A Phantom Love,' which is a hint, not a story, a dream not a reality, a mere piece of brilliant 'impressionist' work - her peculiar powers appear to excellent advantage....Rich in suggestion and color, she defines a little drama of love and jealousy, which belongs partly to this generation and in part is the revival of an old tragedy played out two centuries ago....The fantasy becomes credible in the rich, hazy, unhealthy atmosphere the author surrounds her actors with, as they move languidly and picturesquely through the dim, rich, storied rooms. The little book is the artistic product of very fine powers." -The American

"Only the past could own her heart, only the dead could quench her desire." SHADOW HOUSE PUBLISHING presents the most terrifying love story ever told...a novel of death, desire, and damnation by a 19th century macabre feminist and supernatural fiction legend... A PHANTOM LOVER: A FANTASY or OKE OF OKEHURST, by VERNON LEE, is a novel of sin, sensuality, and the supernatural. This horrific romance of evil from the tragic past returns to haunt a new generation. In this authoritative (and affordable) special edition, Lee's use of psychological terror, obsession, and ambiguity is as refined as Henry James and captures the sublime beauty of gothic horror. Vernon Lee (pseudonym for Violet Paget) was a femme fatale of the Decadent aesthetic movement, a lesbian art critic who revealed the subversive nature of reality and the malignant power of history with scathing social criticism. This novella is her most powerful achievement. A loving but ineffectual husband, a narcissistic wife who taunts him with the dead, and a lost spirit form the weirdest love triangle in literature. Alice Oke is selfish, self-indulgent, and fancies herself the reincarnation of a tragic ancestress who murdered her paramour. Is Alice delusional or will her wedding bed become a grave? Supernatural fiction author and critic WILLIAM P. SIMMONS edits and introduces the fourth volume in Shadow House Publishing's HORROR HALL OF FAME NOVELLAS series. This atmospheric, richly layered weird tale features as a supplement "Faustus and Helena", a vintage essay on art and the supernatural that reflects Vernon Lee's theories regarding supernatural fiction. HORROR HALL OF FAME NOVELLAS , VOLUME FOUR TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction A Phantom Lover: A Fantasy or Oke of Okehurst "Faustus and Helena" __________ About the Editor: William P. Simmons is a supernatural fiction author, critic, & journalist. Seven of his stories earned Honorable Mentions in The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror. By Reason of Darkness was praised by Publisher's Weekly, All Hallows & Cemetery Dance. Graham Masterton, Hugh B. Cave & T.M. Wright endorsed his fiction. He has interviewed such authors as Richard Matheson, F. Paul Wilson & Caitlin Kiernan. HORROR HALL OF FAME NOVELLAS Series: "Horror hundreds of years in the making!"

SHADOW HOUSE PUBLISHING preserves our horror heritage with authoritative and affordable special editions of supernatural literature.
