Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The House in the Mist" by Anna Katharine Green is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with a young man who, seeking shelter from a raw misty night, stumbles upon an old mansion where he encounters a mysterious and unsettling atmosphere, and a group of people assembled for what appears to be an important occasion. The main character is drawn into the unfolding drama involving the relatives of a deceased man, revealing themes of greed, betrayal, and the consequences of familial connections. At the start of the novel, the young man navigates his way to the mansion amidst the mist and engages with a cast of intriguing characters, including men with coarse dispositions, an elderly and sinister figure, and a beautiful yet melancholic woman named Eunice. As he settles into the odd gathering meant for the reading of a will, tensions rise, and it becomes evident that the relatives may have ulterior motives tied to their inheritance. The eerie ambiance and the characters' secretive interactions foreshadow a dark revelation, setting the stage for dramatic turns as the story unfolds, leading readers to anticipate the intertwining fates of those present in the house.
