HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. 'There are things in that wallpaper
that nobody knows about but me, or ever will' Hailed as one of the
most distinctive and compelling literary voices of her era,
Charlotte Perkins Gilman is praised today for her ground-breaking,
feminist writing. Collected here, both The Yellow Wallpaper and
Herland are extraordinary for scrutinising the patriarchal norms of
turn-of-the-century America. In The Yellow Wallpaper a woman
frantically paces the empty nursery at the top of a secluded
mansion. Her husband John, a physician, is of no comfort and she
can't bear to sit with the new baby as his crying makes her much
too nervous. And then there's the putrid, yellow wallpaper which
seems to shift and creep around the room before her very eyes...
Herland, first published in 1915, follows a group of three men as
they arrive in a female-only society. Peace and tranquillity thrive
in this utopian land, forcing the explorers to question how their
own corrupted, male-dominated world can survive.

All Hallows' Eve is the story of a man and woman whose love was so
great it could bridge the gap of death; of evil so terrible as to
be unmentionable, of a vision so beautiful it must be true. Opens
with a discussion between the ghosts of two dead women wandering
about London. Ultimately explores the meaning of human suffering
and empathy by dissolving the barrier between the living and the
dead through both black magic and divine love. A young woman dies
to discover a London that looks right out of Dante. A painter does
a portrait of a minister and discovers he has painted beetles, and
the minister thanks him for it! A magician sends someone to the
future. All Hallow's Eve is an amazing book in that it explores
both the question of 'what happens when you die?' as well as 'what
is the relationship between the dead and the living?'. Charles
Williams at his best.
The third and Final chapter in the Fenton Saga as Daniel, Madison
and Todd are faced once more with their evil father. Who will
perish as they try to rid the world of Bill Fenton.
