The Ghosts of Bristlewood Manor - Paperback

by Percy Popham (Author)

When Edwin Hayward accepts a post as a tutor for Mr. Halifax Fairfield, the enigmatic master of Bristlewood Manor, he already knows it will be a peculiar experience. After all, he's been hired to educate a grown man! But when he hears ghastly noises at night and uncovers the mansion's tragic history, he soon realizes the circumstances are much more bizarre than expected.

And that's not even to mention Edwin's undeniable attraction to Mr. Fairfield, which leads him into a fiery sexual affair and forces him to grapple with his strict religious upbringing.

As his obsession with the mysteries of Bristlewood Manor and his sexual guilt drive him toward madness, Edwin finds that Mr. Fairfield, with whom he is falling in love, has even more secrets to hide, and they are even more horrific than Edwin can imagine.

Written in the style of a 19th-century Gothic horror, The Ghosts of Bristlewood Manor is Jane Eyre meets Frankenstein. It is a tale of grief and trauma, hope and forgiveness, and the power of love to protect us from the phantoms that haunt us.
