'I have often wondered whether I would have urged Wrexler to come with me if I had known what Rougemont would do to him', so begins a tale of an old French château and its terrible destiny.

Dorothy Quick's 1936 story is an eerie horror and time-travel tale. Atmospheric, dread-soaked, well-turned. Read it for a moody supernatural story where an inheritance draws two friends to an ancient château, and a lost door opens onto a fate reaching across the centuries.
