Jacobs is a novella steeped in gothic elements, likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of three sisters—Ursula, Tabitha, and Eunice—who face the existential themes of life, death, and the supernatural. Set in a secluded household, the narrative unfolds with a poignant exploration of family dynamics and the haunting lingering of the past. The plot begins with Ursula lying on her deathbed, expressing her wish to return after death to watch over her sisters. Following her passing, the two remaining sisters, Tabitha and Eunice, navigate their troubled feelings of grief and avarice. Tabitha’s obsession with money contrasts starkly with Eunice’s desire to use their inheritance for altruistic purposes. As strange occurrences and a looming atmosphere of dread envelop the house, both sisters are confronted with the specters of their past and the consequences of their choices. Ultimately, the eerie climax leads to unexpected deaths and the unraveling of familial bonds, underscoring the themes of fear and the emotional weight of unresolved legacies.
