Celia Grey, a fifty-year-old, unmarried writer who has longed for a home of her own for decades, thinks all her prayers have been answered when she inherits her uncle’s house. But Clew Lodge is a property with an uncanny reputation. It is a grim and daunting place, desolate and derelict, having been left to the forces of corruption since Uncle Jerrold abandoned it a decade prior to his death—because he ‘could not stand the whispering’. This new edition of The Forsaken House at Misty Vale, the first since its original publication in 1932, includes a twenty-page biographical essay by Gina R. Collia: ‘Mary L. Pendered: Author, Suffragist, Pacifist, and Thoroughly Good Woman’.
 
‘Gripping it certainly is… The mystery which surrounds the forsaken house, and has such a profound effect on the life of the middle-aged spinster who goes to live in it, is one of the most delicately introduced and developed things of the kind in all the literature of ghost stories… Miss Pendered, who knows well how to create atmosphere, sustains the suspense admirably.’ Northampton Mercury, October 1932.
