Summary
 Love will not be denied—even by death. In this chilling Victorian ghost story from E. Nesbit, determined suitor John Charrington swears he’ll marry May Forster, “dead or alive.” Two days before the ceremony he is killed in a dogcart accident at half‑past one. Yet at half‑past three he walks, pale and disheveled, into the parish church to claim his bride while the passing bell tolls. What follows on the silent ride home will freeze your blood: a revelation so terrible it blanches May’s golden hair white and binds the pair forever in the thyme‑covered churchyard where they once kept tryst. Mathew Guldner’s evocative narration captures both tender romance and gathering dread, building from village whispers to an unforgettable, heart‑stopping climax. Haunting, atmospheric, and exquisitely paced, this classic tale is perfect for a moonlit listen—or for anyone who loves ghostly fiction where love’s vow outlasts the grave.
