About the author
E.D.E.N. Southworth
220 books111 followersEmma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte (aka "E.D.E.N.") Southworth was an American writer of more than 60 novels in the latter part of the 19th century. She was probably the most widely read author of that era.
Some of her earliest works appeared in The National Era, the newspaper that printed Uncle Tom's Cabin. Like her friend Harriet Beecher Stowe, she was a supporter of social change and women's rights. Her first novel, Retribution, a serial for the National Era, published in book form in 1846, was so well received that she gave up teaching and became a regular contributor to various periodicals, especially the New York Ledger.
Her best known work was The Hidden Hand. Most of her novels deal with the Southern United States during the post-American Civil War era.

“The Haunted Homestead” is a bit slow-paced and rambling for my tastes, with too much focus on a love match rather than the haunting aspect.
It does have some good scenes, though, including some creepy moments, but on the whole the story doesn’t live up to its title.
The ending is the biggest let down.
