HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in
possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Austen's best-loved tale of love, marriage and society in
class-conscious Georgian England still delights modern readers
today with its comedy and characters. It follows the feisty,
quick-witted Elizabeth Bennet as her parents seek to ensure good
marriages for her and her sisters in order to secure their future.
The protagonists Darcy and Elizabeth learn much about themselves
and those around them and Austen's expertly crafted comedy
characters of Mrs Bennet and Mr Collins demonstrate her great
artistry as a writer."
From bestselling gothic horror author Darcy Coates comes a chilling
story of a quiet house on a forgotten suburban lane that hides a
deadly secret... Leigh Harker's quiet suburban home was her
sanctuary for more than a decade, until things abruptly changed.
Curtains open by themselves. Radios turn off and on. And a dark
figure looms in the shadows of her bedroom door at night, watching
her, waiting for her to finally let down her guard enough to fall
asleep. Pushed to her limits but unwilling to abandon her home,
Leigh struggles to find answers. But each step forces her towards
something more terrifying than she ever imagined. A poisonous
shadow seeps from the locked door beneath the stairs. The handle
rattles through the night and fingernails scratch at the wood. Her
home harbours dangerous secrets, and now that Leigh is trapped
within its walls, she fears she may never escape. Do you think
you're safe? You're wrong. Also By Darcy Coates: The Haunting of
Ashburn House The Haunting of Blackwood House Craven Manor The
House Next Door Voices in the Snow The Whispering Dead
