Along with the property come a furnished house -- and, of course, two paintings. They are paintings of a young boy and girl, siblings who died in childhood. When Orth -- the author -- sees these paintings, they begin to haunt his every thought until they finally become flesh and bone. . . . Gertrude Atherton was an early American writer who was known for writing historical novels set in California. However, she is also associated with the gothic and supernatural genres, in which "Bell in the Fog" is considered a classic. |

Many of her novels are set in her home state of California. Her bestseller Black Oxen (1923) was made into a silent movie of the same name.

She was strong-willed, independent-minded and sometimes controversial." |
