The Ebony Frame: A Gothic Love Story of Art, Obsession, and the Occult

The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit is a dark, romantic, and psychologically unnerving tale of possession, memory, and reincarnation. When a solitary man is called to claim an unexpected inheritance, he finds himself drawn not to the property-but to a portrait hanging in the hall. It depicts a stunning woman he's certain he's never met... yet feels he has loved forever.

As his obsession deepens, he loses grip on reality, relationships, and the present. His dreams turn vivid. His nights, haunted. And the woman in the portrait-silent and beautiful-becomes impossible to ignore. But who is she? Why does she call to him? And what ancient pact binds them beyond life and death?

This modern translation breathes fresh life into Nesbit's eerie prose, making her compact gothic masterpiece accessible and immersive for the modern reader.
