Description
PENGUIN HORROR - A celebration of the very best literary horror, a series of terrifying novels and tales that for generations have thrilled, captivated and kept readers wide awake at night.
Like moths to a flame, people are drawn to Dower House. To see the estate in dappled sunlight, to feel the breeze blown in from the river, is to forever be in love. Among those caught in its spell are James and Nemo Boyce, who quickly buy it, and Professor Harry Harris, who becomes captivated by both the house and its new mistress. But an uninvited guest soon corrupts their paradise, and quickly reveals the dark heart of the home...
A tour-de-force of chest-tightening tension, Moths, one of the great gothic horrors of the twentieth century, is an extraordinary tale of possession and sinister seduction.
'A magical novel, passionate, exciting, and beautifully written' - Iris Murdoch

About the Author
Rosalind Ashe was born in Jamaica before studying in Canada and then Oxford. She later spent time in the United States and Italy before residing in Oxfordshire and London. Ashe's writing career didn't start until she was in her forties, though once she started, she was prolific. Her books include Moths (1976), The Hurricane Wake (1977), and Dark Runner (1987). Her fiction often fitted into the gothic romance genre, though it frequently leaned into the darker themes and tighter suspense typically associated with horror writing.
