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, in which a young bride is imperiled not only by secrets from the past but also by evil machinations of the present. Its author, J. Sheridan Le Fanu, was the Victorian equivalent of Stephen King, and this compelling Gothic novel attests to the enduring appeal of his works. Unabridged republication of the classic 1869 edition.
