{"product_id":"gothic-tales-1","title":"Gothic Tales","description":"\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Gaskell's chilling Gothic tales blend the real and the supernatural to eerie, compelling effect. 'Disappearances', inspired by local legends of mysterious vanishings, mixes gossip and fact; 'Lois the Witch', a novella based on an account of the Salem witch hunts, shows how sexual desire and jealousy lead to hysteria; while in 'The Old Nurse's Story' a mysterious child roams the freezing Northumberland moors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether darkly surreal, such as 'The Poor Clare', where an evil doppelgänger is formed by a woman's bitter curse, or mischievous like 'Curious, if True', a playful reworking of fairy tales, all the stories in this volume form a stark contrast to the social realism of Gaskell's novels, revealing a darker and more unsettling style of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.85 x 1.96 x 19.76 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46999836164253,"sku":"9780140437416","price":69.95,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/7575\/1837\/files\/9780140437416.jpg?v=1755163667","url":"https:\/\/mphonline.com\/products\/gothic-tales-1","provider":"MPHOnline.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
