Young author Penelope Tredwell (Twelve Minutes to Midnight) returns in another deliciously dreadful tale. Intrigued by the lifelike images produced by a new invention, the Véritéscope, Penelope agrees to have one of her stories made into a silent movie. But the camera has supernatural powers, and Penelope finds herself in danger. Well-crafted, atmospheric settings make the late-Victorian period come alive.
