Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This mesmerizing saga unfurls in the haunting heart of an ancient watermill, where the Trender family leads an eccentric, cloistered existence amidst the rustic backwaters of Hampshire, England. Through the eyes of Renalt, the restless middle child, we are privy to the tumultuous events that unfold within these crumbling walls. Haunted by ancient rumors and obscure secrets, the mill becomes an eerie stage for a tragicomedy of human frailties, where love, jealousy, and desperation intertwine. Renalt's infatuation with the mysterious changeling, Zyp, sets in motion a chain of unforeseen consequences, laying bare the hidden wounds and unspoken desires that simmer beneath the surface of family life. The author delves into the raw complexities of human nature, exploring the themes of identity, familial bonds, and the allure of the unknown. The characters, vibrant in their flaws and yearnings, grapple with their own demons and the suffocating legacy of their past, while the mill itself emerges as a brooding, enigmatic symbol of their shared destiny. In the end, this haunting tale illuminates the profound ways in which our secrets and desires shape the intricate tapestry of our lives, leaving readers with a lasting meditation on the inherent mysteries that bind us together.

Capes was a prolific Victorian author, publishing more than 40 volumes -- romances, mysteries, poetry, history --together with many articles for the magazines of the day. His first success came in 1896, when he entered a $30,000 competition "Stories of Mystery" for new authors sponsored by the Chicago Record. He was awarded second prize (out of a field of 816 entries) for "The Mill of Silence" published by Rand, McNally in 1897. The following year the chicago Record ran the competition again, and this time Capes won it with "The Lake of Wine.

Octavo, pp. [1-5] 6-348, original pictorial olive cloth, front and spine panels stamped in green and gold, t.e.g., other edges untrimmed. First edition, first printing, first binding. Bernard Capes is now generally recognized as one of the masters of the Edwardian ghost story. What's not generally known is that the present title, his third novel and the first published under his own name, is a fully fledged weird tale replete with curses, fate, prophecies, a magnificently haunted room, and a pair of ghosts, one sinister, the other kind. The atmosphere of the book is soaked in a "high spectral gloom." The overtly supernatural incidents are few, but to call the book's weirdness "subdued" would be grossly inaccurate. It reeks of it. Its themes are weighty and its plot construction is intricate and polished. Not the least of its virtues are stylistic. "By lowering factory and grimy wall; by squalid streets peeled of uncleanliness in the teeth of the bitter blast; by lowbrowed taverns, that gushed red on us a moment and were gone, he sped on with crooked paces, and I followed" (p. 167). The book is shot through with dozens of little touches -- gruesome ditties and feverish babblings, references to folkloristic magic and superstition -- that build up a sense of the uncanny and dreadful. A gravedigger, talking with the hero about macabre doings in the churchyard, is frightened by a wasp. "Who ever see a pink warsp wi' a mouth like a purse and blue inside?" (p. 247). THE MILL OF SILENCE is also a full-blooded mystery yarn, delving into theft, blackmail, adultery, false imprisonment, child abandonment, murder and suicide. The tone generally is passionate, in contrast to the detached craftsmanlike manner of his later stories. The novel won second prize (in a field of 861) in a "Stories of Mystery" contest sponsored by the CHICAGO RECORD in 1896, and was published the following year (as by "B. E. J. Capes"). It was not issued in England until 1899, when it came out as part of a series of cheap paperbacks, now very rare. The first cloth edition was produced by John Long at a still later date. Hubin (1994), p. 131. Not in Bleiler (1948; 1978) or Reginald (1979; 1992). A fine copy. The first issue is rare. (#130234).
