When he accuses you, gaslight him: \"No one was walking with me near the pond, at five o'clock or any other hour.\" Spend your days in the yellow room, luxuriating in love letters written to your beloved murderess. Do this all while eluding the gaze of the male portrait painter, yet another man who would define you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith echoes of Daphne du Maurier's \u003cem\u003eRebecca \u003c\/em\u003eand Charlotte Perkins Gilman's \"The Yellow Wallpaper,\" \u003cem\u003eA Phantom Lover \u003c\/em\u003ecreates an otherworldly space for this provocative femme fatale to live and love as she pleases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLee, Vernon:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Vernon Lee (1856-1935), the pen name of Violet Paget, was a queer intellectual, feminist, and pacifist.
