About this listen
When Woodsley, a young English painter, arrives in Barbados and finds no lodging available, he thinks himself fortunate to be invited to stay at Eltonsbrody, a mansion belonging to the eccentric widow Mrs Scaife. But behind the locked doors of the house’s disused rooms lurk terrible secrets, and soon strange and blood-curdling events begin to unfold. The tension builds towards a shocking and unforgettable conclusion, when the full horror of Eltonsbrody will be revealed.
One of the most prolific and important of 20th-century Caribbean writers, Edgar Mittelholzer (1909-1965) was at his best in Gothic novels like My Bones and My Flute (1955) and Eltonsbrody (1960). This first-ever reissue of Mittelholzer’s weird and chilling tale includes a new introduction by John Thieme.
"One of the modern giants of Caribbean writing." (Caribbean Writers)
"A sanguinary essay in the macabre." (The Crisis)
"An original writer with a great command of language and atmosphere...true imaginative power." (John O’London’s Weekly)

Dark and Deadly
Fantastic narration. Excellent writing. Rich imagery. Horribly terrifying. Great storytelling, the kind of story where siblings gather under warm blankets on a cold and stormy night to scare the bejeezus out of each other. a vety typical Caribbean evening before Television.
