About Shrine of Death and Other Stories

Lady Emilia Dilke was a renowned author, art historian and women's activist whose supernatural weird tales often had a haunting dreamlike quality to them, some reading as esoteric and tragic fables of life and love lost with a touch of the gothic. Her prose is lyrical and eloquent, with strong characterizations and lush descriptions. Drift along with Lady Dilke as she takes you on a journey beyond reality into realms of death and magic where myths are real and what the heart desires is not always what is best.
