But whilst spirits disturb the realm of the living, the stark realities of surviving in Victorian England remain equally pressing. From the once-beloved yet unfairly neglected Victorian writer Charlotte Riddell come two chilling yet charming novels. In "An Uninhabited House," Charlotte Riddell presents a curious proposition: how does one let a property when the tenents cannot stand their otherworldly lodger? Horror meets humour as a host of solicitors and clerks struggle to find the solution to their impending financial - and perhaps mortal - peril. "Fairy Water" follows young lovers navigating their new position in society, an effort frustrated by the interruptions of a spectral houseguest. Narrated by the couple's bombastic and disgruntled landlord, the economic obsessions and anxieties of late Victorian England are expertly, and entertainingly, laid bare. 650 0 $a Ghost stories, English. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85054816 650 0 $a Haunted houses $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008105495 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85043366 650 0 $a Haunted places $v Fiction. 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Ghost stories, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00942411 650 7 $a Haunted houses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00951928 650 7 $a Haunted places. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00951930 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 700 1 $a Smith, Andrew, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85118084 710 2 $a British Library, $e publisher. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81139951 740 0 $a Haunted House at Latchford. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014844.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C6BD71B21D7611EA83B92C1397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
