Dormant
Seven young friends embark on adulthood together, their futures bright and their friendships unshakeable. Rose, a talented artist, finds herself drawn to Anthony, the earnest chemist whose scientific mind dismisses the supernatural as superstition. But when Anthony inherits a fortune from a stranger a mysterious estate, and a title the chemistry of his rational world begins to curdle into something far darker. A secret, long dormant, stirs in the shadows of his new inheritance. What begins as a celebration of modern love and scientific progress slowly unravels into genuine gothic terror. Nesbit, better known for her beloved children's fantasies, reveals a startling capacity for psychological menace in this forgotten novel of Edwardian unease. The question becomes not whether evil is real, but whether love can survive its awakening.
