What if the dead could punish the living for their secrets?

The Haunted Baronet is a masterclass in gothic suspense from one of the founding fathers of supernatural fiction. The story follows Sir Bale Mardykes, a cold and haughty baronet who inherits his family's ancient estate-but also its ancient curses. Whispers circulate of an old betrayal, and soon the new master of Mardykes Hall is tormented by ghostly visions and the return of secrets he believed long buried.

As strange events unfold-phantom sightings, spectral voices, unexplained drownings-the line between guilt and ghost becomes increasingly blurred. Is Sir Bale being haunted by spirits? Or by his own buried conscience? This modern translation brings Le Fanu's poetic darkness into sharp, accessible clarity, while preserving the sinister beauty of the original.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

A Gothic Tale of Retribution and Restless Spirits - Where estates are cursed, and silence hides violent truths. A Nobleman Haunted by His Past - Sir Bale's descent into terror is as psychological as it is supernatural. A Faithful Yet Readable Translation - Edited and adapted for modern readers without losing the lyrical tension of Le Fanu's prose. A Rich Atmosphere of Fog, Stone, and Sin - From moorland mysteries to crumbling mansions, this is gothic horror at its finest.

Enter Mardykes Hall and uncover the secrets that will not stay buried. The Haunted Baronet is a slow-burning ghost story of guilt, fear, and the justice of the beyond.
