Possessed - A Lost Novel of the Occult

£10.99

John Travers has been hanged for the murder of his mother-in-law Helga, but to those who knew him, something is amiss. Driven by justice and a sense of uncanny forces at work, John’s friend Doctor Toogood recounts a haunting tale of love and jealousy under the fell influence of a shadowy and implacable evil. First published in 1927, this novel by husband-and-wife writing duo Rosalie and Edward Synton (real surname Corse-Scott) has been lost for nearly a century and returns now from the British Library collections to deliver its occult thrills anew.

Why We Recommend this Book

Possessed is the sort of forgotten occult novel that feels like a genuine discovery on the part of the British Library - a murder mystery steeped in the feverish atmosphere of interwar ghost fiction. With jealousy, possession and the creeping suspicion that something far worse than human malice is at work, it has all the ingredients of a wonderfully sinister winter read.

Best of all, its return from the British Library archives gives a lost voice of 1920s weird fiction a second life.
