Summary

On a bitterly cold winter's night in New Hampshire, a delicate young man alights from a train to find his expected transport, a sleigh, is not there. It seems he has been forgotten. A chance encounter with a young man named Frank Rainer leads to an invitation to his uncle's grand, yet eerily quiet home. As George Faxon steps into the opulence of Overdale, he is drawn into an unsettling world where the warmth of hospitality hides chilling secrets. What begins as a simple gesture of kindness soon spirals into a supernatural encounter that will shake him to his core, unraveling hidden motives and exposing the darkness lurking beneath the surface. Prepare yourself for Edith Wharton's haunting tale, "The Triumph of Night," where reality and the supernatural blur, and betrayal is only a shadow away.
