Like Emily Brontë's Ghosts

The Independent uses a curious metaphor when talking about Bobby Conn's latest album, Macaroni:

Where do outsider musicians go if the mainstream never lets them in? They stay outside, clawing at the window panes like Emily Brontë ghosts. (Simon Price)

The Daily Mirror recommends Haworth's Youth Hostel:

Set in Brontë country, the YHA ­Haworth, was built in 1884 as a private home. Décor is seriously upmarket with a grand stone portico leading through stained-glass doors into a soaring lobby, while up the grand oak staircase is a carved upper gallery.
Don’t expect the rooms (singles to eight-bed dorms) to have the same level of luxury, but they still have a certain faded grandeur with high ­ceilings and tiled fireplaces.
On the ground-floor is the only double bedroom, with bunk above, and private disabled-access bathroom; otherwise the only en-suite is one of the six-bed dorms.
An upper floor has more rooms in the old servants’ quarters with mind-your-head black beams and views over the village and moors beyond. ­Breakfast is served in the large dining room, bistro meals offered nightly, though it’s worth a walk into cute Haworth village. (Marjorie Yue)

The New York Times doesn't like EL James's Fifty Shades of Grey:

Even though James writes like a Brontë devoid of talent, her saga is the first smash hit in the era of “Mommy’s naughty reader,” as a 10-year-old dubbed it in The Wall Street Journal.  (...) Anne Rice,
the godmother of vampire and SM fantasies, told me that “Twilight is like Jane Eyre”. Or Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca. As is Fifty Shades of Grey. A mousy, virginal girl, who is spirited beneath her shy demeanour, falls in love with a rich, arrogant man. She learns that he’s damaged, but decides to persevere and heal him through her transforming love. HEA, as they say in romantica: Happily Ever After.(Maureen Dowd)
