The Strange Visitation

The Strange Visitation

Marie Corelli

On the most sacred night of the year, a storm rages over a millionaire's fortress of gold. Josiah McNason has built an empire on cold calculation, his heart sealed against every plea for mercy. But Christmas Eve brings no peace to such a man. Something arrives at his door something that defies explanation, that strips away the walls between the living and whatever lies beyond. Corelli weaves Victorian gothic intensity with a moral fable's purpose: can wealth purchase humanity, or has a lifetime of greed summoned something that cannot be bargained with? The answer arrives in the dark, and it will shake even the most hardened reader.
