In Man-Size in Marble, Edith Nesbit delivers a haunting blend of folklore and psychological horror. A young artist and his wife, seeking peace and inspiration, settle into a charming country home with a dark secret. Locals speak of a cursed church and two effigies-marble knights who are said to rise once a year to walk again. The couple laughs it off-until strange events unfold, and the impossible becomes undeniable.

As the story spirals toward its chilling climax, Nesbit's restrained, elegant prose draws the reader into an atmosphere thick with dread. This modern translation preserves the spine-tingling rhythm of the original while making it accessible and immersive for a new generation of readers.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

A Bone-Chilling Gothic Horror - Where folklore comes terrifyingly to life
A Cursed Church and a Sinister Legend - Ancient knights who do not rest in peace
A Lyrical Yet Accessible Adaptation - Maintaining Nesbit's grace and subtlety in every line
A Tragic Tale of Disbelief and Consequence - A love story tested by supernatural doom

Perfect for fans of The Monkey's Paw, The Mezzotint, and other literary ghost stories, this classic tale is a must-have for any horror collection.
