R. James.A beautiful heroine marries the heir to a local estate - but what sounds like a happy ending is just the beginning of a chilling and suspenseful thriller. Set in rural England of the 1820s, The Wyvern Mystery takes its title from ancient myth, in which a two-legged dragon called the \"wyvern\" signifies the truly sinister. Dark hints of the supernatural permeate this 1869 horror classic, which unfolds inside a haunted mansion, where a young bride is imperiled not only by family secrets from the past but also by evil machinations of the present.Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (pronounced Leff-anew) was known as \"the Dark Prince\" by a wide circle of avid readers during his heyday in the late nineteenth century. The Victorian equivalent of Stephen King, Le Fanu created a compelling series of Gothic novels and ghost stories that Henry James characterized as \"the ideal reading in a country house for the hours after midnight.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525177770272,"sku":"NEW0486440729","price":14.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81TOzgh3k7L_27be4871-91c7-4ff5-a0d5-d4763a21a2f6.jpg?v=1777142870","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-wyvern-mystery-0486440729","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
