Description
Newly widowed and pregnant, Elsie is sent to her late husband's isolated country estate, a place filled with secrets and hostility. She discovers a locked room containing a painted wooden figure eerily resembling herself, a figure the estate's inhabitants fear. As Elsie dismisses their superstitions, she begins to suspect the unsettling presence of the figure is far more than mere folklore. This chilling Victorian ghost story masterfully builds suspense, exploring themes of isolation, fear, and the uncanny.
