Description

The Red Treehouse is dedicated to my Dad, I love you, Pop.




Join me in The Red Treehouse as I read a terrific short horror story, The Spectre Bride, written by William Harrison Ainsworth.


The story tells of an enigmatic stranger who arrives at a castle in Germany for a birthday party for a Baron's daughter. The two inevitably fall in love, but as you can imagine, things aren't what they seem--leading to catastrophe and tragedy.


Focusing on themes such as innocence and corruption, and love gained and lost; this is a terrific and haunting story that is guaranteed to keep you up at night!


So sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Spectre Bride.
