Short description

Brandon Stewart can't be happy without his beautiful new bride Lucille - but she can't be happy unless she's making him miserable. For a couple so enslaved by the cruel tyranny of their own love, is death itself strong enough to part them?

Extended description

A tumbledown Victorian house, a neglected, overgrown garden, a deep, stagnant pool full of choking weeds - a strange first home for a newly-wed young couple. But their morbid relationship is more gothic still. Addicted to suppressing and being suppressed, neither can be happy unless the other is miserable - but when death overshadows them, will they finally find release from their tyrannous love, or is that love-cruelty strong enough to endure beyond the grave?

Review by: Graham Downs on Feb. 23, 2013 :
A cute little story about a hen-pecked husband. The "ghost story" bit doesn't become apparent until quite late in the tale, and although its well written, the ending is a little abrupt and disappointing.

Review by: Ernest Winchester on Nov. 05, 2011 :
Written in typical British prose, suggesting that of the century before last, the story was well done, though I wondered at the gender of the narrator. But surely Lucille, being a proper lady, wouldn’t entertain a gentleman overnight.
