{"product_id":"gothic-tales","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. Whether darkly surreal, such as 'The Poor Clare', where an evil doppelgŠnger 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","brand":"Elizabeth Gaskell,ÊLaura Kranzler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49013704589465,"sku":"9780140437416","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/5642\/6905\/files\/71wpU8VO02L._SY342_7962bd6b-797d-405e-8a02-08c211a7e229.jpg?v=1789228593","url":"https:\/\/booksworldstore.com\/products\/gothic-tales","provider":"Books World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
