product description

Description

"If you were to go into your bedroom tonight - perhaps by candlelight - and sit quietly before the large mirror, you might see what I have seen. Sit patiently, looking neither at yourself nor at the glass. You might notice that the image is not yours, but that of an exceptional person who lived at some other time . . ."

The image in the mirror of fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Cuttner is that of the fey and long-dead Frances, who introduces Elizabeth to her chilling world of the supernatural. Through Frances, Elizabeth learns what it is to wield power - power of a kind that is malevolent and seemingly invincible. Power that begins with the killing of her parents . . .

A Lost Classic of 1970s Horror Fiction

First published in 1976, Ken Greenhall's debut novel Elizabeth stands as a remarkable entry in modern horror literature. This Valancourt Books edition brings back a novel that critics praised for its elegant exploration of supernatural evil and psychological depth. The story follows Elizabeth Cuttner, a fourteen-year-old girl who discovers a supernatural presence in her mirror—the spirit of Frances, a long-dead entity who becomes both mentor and corruptor.

Supernatural Coming-of-Age Horror

This gothic horror novel combines elements of paranormal fiction with dark coming-of-age themes. Elizabeth's journey into the occult begins innocently but quickly descends into malevolent territory as she learns to wield supernatural power under Frances's guidance. The narrative explores the corruption of innocence through occult forces, creating an unsettling psychological horror experience that has earned comparisons to classic works in the genre.

Critical Acclaim

Library Journal called it "A whirlwind of horror," while the Sunday Times (London) praised it as "An elegant study of a world in which evil is total and totally triumphant." The New York Times described the work as "An unsettling piece of work," cementing its place in literary horror fiction.

This edition includes a new introduction by Jonathan Janz, providing contemporary context for this rediscovered classic of supernatural horror.
