![]() ![]() ![]() Dunkle adopts a spare style perfect for the period, fitting each word neatly into place. This book is an aesthetic pleasure – from its trim dimensions and eerily shimmering cover to the lyricism of the writing within. As Tabby struggles to adjust to her new home on the Yorkshire Moors, she gradually uncovers the grim secrets of Seldom House – and the true reason she and young Heathcliff were brought there. And, though Tabby was brought to the household as a maid, her sole duty is to watch over the young master: a brazen child who claims he came from Hell itself. Strange figures appear in the halls, and strange noises haunt her dreams. Though she locks her bedroom door each night, someone repeatedly enters and rearranges her things. Though the rooms are dusty and unused, the staff does nothing to maintain them. When Tabby comes to Seldom House as the new maid, she quickly realizes that things are not as they should be. ![]()
