Bellow, the book blurb:
Sometimes, life and love can follow the most obscure paths, just as they did for Elisa. Her life becomes a dark, cold, lonely cage the day the Devil takes her as his wife. He takes away almost everything she holds dear: her health, her wealth and what is left of her family. Trapped between the nuances of life and beyond-life, Elisa finds herself struggling for a better tomorrow. With her health deteriorating, how will she summon the courage and strength to stand her ground? And how far will she go in the pursuit of a dream? Embark with Elisa on this puzzling Gothic adventure set in the late Victorian era, between the world of the Living and the picturesque, melancholic Duskland.

"Stop it, Elisa. You're bleeding, my darling!" - Leonhard

- Dr. Charles

First let me beging to say that Isis Sousa is a quite talented artist http://www.isissousadesigner.com/ but by her own admission in the afterword to the book she is not a writer and thats noticeable.
I cant help but think with the intriguing basis for a plot she has going if she had collaborated with a more skilled author things could have been different
As it is now you can hint at what could have been. That is not to say its awful.
The gothic atmosphere was really good. I just wish there had been more...something
I cant really say much about the plot because there is not much of it and were I to mention more it would spoil the twist to the story. And what was Leonhards connection to the mansion?
This is one of the stories included in an upcoming anthology called "Stories from Duskland" set to be published in spring 2014.
