Edith Nesbit recounts the chilling tale of newlywed Victorians Jack and Laura and the legend of two marble tomb effigies, who are said to rise each year and walk.

In her final days, Edith Nesbit recounts the chilling tale of newlywed Victorians Jack and Laura. As they settle into a small cottage in a quiet village, they soon find their idyll overshadowed by the superstitious warnings of their housekeeper and the legend of two marble tomb effigies who are said to rise each year and walk.

Jack dismisses this is as mere folklore. But as the fateful night draws near, he makes a terrifying discovery. And back at the cottage, Laura is all alone...
