A gloomy castle on the New England coast is illuminated by the glow of a bloody moon, foreshadowing destruction and death. Ancient legends about vampires and a family curse hang over the mysterious death of sister Jenny Dalton; New victims pave the way to the solution... “Blood Moon” belongs to the first, most successful Gothic novels of the American writer Jean Alexandre. In Jean-Anne Despres’s novel “The Third Woman,” the twilight peace of a Gothic mansion in Chelsea South is disrupted by the appearance of a ghostly woman in white. Only Judith Reilly sees the mysterious guest: neither the owner of the mansion nor his housekeeper want to even talk about the otherworldly visit. A strange noise in the rooms above... A secret that is revealed too late. Romantic love for a stranger pits a young Englishman against representatives of French high society and... with body snatchers. “A Room at the Flying Dragon Inn,” written by the famous British writer Joseph Sheridan LeFanu, ends with the solution to the mystery of the locked room and a miraculous rescue.
