Three supernatural tales of longing and loss from the grand-dame of Gothic fiction, Mary Shelly.

When a storm drives their boat towards the rocks, a group of sailors is saved by the light of a ruined tower. The locals speak of the Invisible Girl who haunts it – a lost, wandering soul. But the truth is more disturbing, and far more human, than any ghost story.

Includes the stories: The Invisible Girl, The Mortal Immortal and The Mourner.
