But he certainly did not expect for a horrifying spiderlike creature to emerge from the bag, kidnap Apogee, and drag her inside to the equally horrifying and unsettling world of GrahBhag.

L'autore di questo audiolibro, Maurice Leblanc, ha scritto la fortunata serie di Arsenio Lupin, ma in questo ascolto il ladro gentiluomo fa solo una breve comparsa, mentre la trama si sviluppa autonomamente, tra suggestioni gotiche, superstizioni, fantasmi del passato che perseguitano l'eroina, Veronica, e suo figlio Francesco. Fino alla fine un susseguirsi di colpi di scena, e non manca il consueto gusto umoristico dell'autore. Cornice musicale dello sceneggiato francese del 1979.

Questo romanzo, pubblicato nel 1851, viene presentato dall'autore come "romance" e non come romanzo. Così l'autore mette le mani avanti e si permette di spaziare nelle fantasie suggerite dalle novità dei suoi tempi: il mesmerismo, lo spiritismo, l'idea, insomma che potesse esistere il modo di comunicare con esseri disincarnati e che essi potessero influenzare gli eventi della nostra vita.
