Public Domain: Yes Description First published in 1851, Schalken the Painter is one of Sheridan Le Fanu's most haunting works of Gothic supernatural fiction.

Set in the Netherlands during the Dutch Golden Age, the story follows a young woman whose future is changed by the arrival of a mysterious and wealthy stranger. What initially appears to be a matter of courtship and fortune gradually takes a darker and more unsettling turn.

With its candlelit interiors, shadowy streets, mysterious visitor, and mounting sense of dread, Schalken the Painter is a masterclass in Gothic atmosphere and supernatural suspense. Its bleak and unforgettable conclusion has helped secure its place among the enduring classics of the genre.

Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne.
