Los Ultimos Dias de Clayton and Co - by Maria Francisca Solar (Hardcover)

About the Book

A Spanish horror novel... At the end of the 19th century, in the vanished town of Atlas, young Abigail Clayton was renowned for her curious talent for photographing the dead. A skill that held a terrifying secret: the subjects of her images whispered secrets about the living to her. People from all over the country traveled to meet the "medium Clayton." She welcomed farmers and diplomats, assisted in legal and police cases, until an accusation of insanity and a gruesome homicide ended her short career. "A witch, a madwoman, a murderer," they say, she was locked away for more than a decade in the basement of a sanatorium before tuberculosis and oblivion killed her. Many things are said about her. However, the only thing that is clear is that the true story of those she photographed was hidden in the whispers of ghosts or behind the click of one of her photos.
