Описание

<p>The House by the Churchyard is a novel by</p><p>Sheridan Le Fanu published in 1863 that combines</p><p>elements of the mystery novel and the historical</p><p>novel. Set in the village of Chapelizod, near Dublin,</p><p>in the 1760s the story opens with the accidental</p><p>disinterment of an old skull in the churchyard,</p><p>and an eerie late-night funeral. This discovery relates</p><p>to murders, both recent and historical whose</p><p>repercussions disrupt the complacent pace of village</p><p>affairs and change the lives of many of its notable</p><p>characters forever. Charm and chilling darkness</p><p>abound in equal measure in one of the greatest</p><p>novels of a Victorian master of mystery.</p>
