Abstract: A metà tra storia d'amore e romanzo gotico, Gli animali di Lockwood Manor è un racconto dalle atmosfere stregate che parla di famiglia e follia, segreti a lungo sepolti e desideri nascosti. Agosto 1939. La guerra incombe su Londra e Hetty Cartwright viene incaricata di portare in salvo la preziosa collezione di mammiferi impagliati del Museo di storia naturale. Quando giunge a Lockwood Manor, futura dimora del museo, Hetty si rende conto che il suo compito è più difficile del previsto. Deve vedersela con l'irascibile Lord Lockwood e con i suoi domestici tutt'altro che collaborativi; e, come se non bastasse, alcuni degli animali della collezione iniziano a scomparire. Hetty ha l'impressione che qualcuno – o qualcosa – la stia pedinando tra le buie stanze della magione. Mentre la situazione precipita, Hetty stringe un legame sempre più profondo con Lucy, l'affascinante e tormentata figlia di Lord Lockwood.
