Nightmare Tales (A Timeless Classic) H P Blavatsky

It was a dark, chilly night in September, 1884. A heavy gloom had descended over the streets of A-, a small town on the Rhine, and was hanging like a black funeral-pall over the dull factory burgh.

All was quiet in the large house; all was quiet in the deserted streets.
