"She Walks in Darkness" by Evangeline Walton

This was definitely a dated piece of literature but it was strangely compelling. Walton describes the tribulations that face a young married woman in an isolated part of Tuscany when she falls into a gothic situation revolving around mythos, hidden treasure, and the various discrepancies of the human or lack of human condition. Was a little hard to read but wound up sticking in my mind. Walton is not as well known as she should be as one of the first women to write science fiction. Worth a look if your a fan of sci fi.
