Elizabeth Gaskell 
Doom of the Griffiths 

‚The Doom of the Griffiths‘ is a haunting short story by the acclaimed Victorian author Elizabeth Gaskell. A long-forgotten curse was placed upon the Griffiths family by the last native Prince of Wales, Owain Glyndwr, following a betrayal by a member of the Griffiths family. The curse foretells that the Griffiths family line will end ‚with the murder of the eighth generation Griffiths by the ninth‘. Many years later, will the ominous prophecy upon the condemned family come true? A dark tale of revenge, jealousy, and treachery. –
