But pregnant and widowed just weeks after their wedding, with her new servants resentful and the local villagers actively hostile, Elsie has only her late husband's awkward cousin for company. Or so she thinks. Inside her new home lies a locked door, beyond which is a painted wooden figure--a silent companion--that bears a striking resemblance to Elsie herself. The residents of the estate are terrified of the figure, but Elsie tries to shrug this off as simple superstition--that is, until she notices the figure's eyes following her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA Victorian ghost story that evokes a most unsettling kind of fear, \u003ci\u003e The Silent Companions\u003c\/i\u003e is a tale that creeps its way through the consciousness in ways you least expect--much like the companions themselves.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaura Purcell\u003c\/b\u003e worked in local government, the financial industry and a bookshop before becoming a full-time writer.
