[The Journal of Vincent du Maurier 02] • The Journal of Vincent Du Maurier

There are alternate cover/title editions for this ASINhere and here.

After discovering the artifact on the Esja, a dig was set up near the site and a team assigned to excavate. They searched for months without success. Two years later, however, near the same ravine, a group of geologists came upon this artifact, sitting atop a mound of stones. Despite its seemingly intended discovery, it also dates from the period of the Red Death. We have confirmed that the handwriting matches that of the previous journal’s author, and this narrative picks up where the other left off, even as this one is different for its added content. Tucked safely inside the leather binding, inserted between specific pages, is another diary of sorts, written in a different hand and using a graphite ink. We call this interior document “The Notes of Evelina Caro” since the writer names herself at several points in the text. We believe these loose sheets are the writings of the girl mentioned in the first notebook. She recounts her story, as does the writer of the first diary, Vincent Du Maurier. The two stories coincide and someone has gone to great lengths to align her pages with his, as though attempting to weave their storylines together. Her entries do not offer us dates, but each is marked and numbered. The following chronicle is the contents of the two texts translated in their entirety. We have not strayed from the page ordering or altered the document in any way.
