A Phantom Lover is a supernatural novella by Vernon Lee (pseudonym of Violet Paget) first published in 1886. Set in a Kentish manor house, the story concerns a portrait painter commissioned by a squire, William Oke, to produce portraits of him and his wife, the eccentric Mrs. Alice Oke, who bears a striking resemblance to a woman in a mysterious, seventeenth century painting.

This tale is like a gender-swapped Jane Eyre, with the young many brought to an isolated country estate with its brooding inhabitants. The reader's voice is a bit flat, but it helped paint the picture of the disaffected narrator.

I think it ended very well. The readers voice is soothing so it may be better to not listen before bed.

Off-beat and interesting. All three characters are somewhat unconvincing. Don't marry your first cousin.
Terrific story!

I really enjoyed this "horror" story.
