In the fog-drenched world of Victorian literature, The Haunting of Mr & Mrs Stevenson by Belinda Lyons-Lee presents a beguiling gothic mystery centred on one of history's most celebrated literary couples — Robert Louis Stevenson and his spirited wife, Fanny. When the pair find themselves ensnared in a web of supernatural terror, their marriage, sanity, and very lives are drawn into question, as dark forces seem to pursue them across continents and through the shadowy corridors of their own imaginations. Lyons-Lee masterfully blurs the boundary between the real and the spectral, weaving historical fact with chilling fiction to craft a tale that is as intellectually stimulating as it is deeply unsettling. Rooted in the rich tradition of Victorian gothic storytelling, this novel channels the very spirit of the era that produced Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, casting the Stevensons themselves as reluctant protagonists in a haunting of their own. Lyons-Lee's prose is atmospheric and precise, drawing on meticulous historical research while sustaining a mounting sense of dread that keeps the reader perpetually off-balance. For those who relish their history laced with shadows and their romance threaded with menace, this is a novel that will linger long after the final page is turned — leaving one to wonder just how much the great writer's darkest imaginings were truly his own.
