From two acclaimed experts in the genre, a brand-new volume of
supernatural stories showcasing the forgotten female horror writers
from 1852-1923. While the nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley may be
hailed as the first modern writer of horror, the success of her
immortal Frankenstein undoubtedly inspired dozens of female authors
who wrote their own evocative, chilling tales. Weird Women, edited
by award-winning anthologists Lisa Morton and Leslie S. Klinger,
collects some of the finest tales of terror by authors as legendary
as Louisa May Alcott, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and Charlotte
Gilman-Perkins, alongside works of writers who were the bestsellers
and critical favorites of their time-Marie Corelli, Ellen Glasgow,
Charlotte Riddell-and lesser known authors who are deserving of
contemporary recognition. As railroads, industry, cities, and
technology flourished in the mid-nineteenth century, so did stories
exploring the horrors they unleashed. This anthology includes ghost
stories and tales of haunted houses, as well as mad scientists,
werewolves, ancient curses, mummies, psychological terrors, demonic
dimensions, and even weird westerns. Curated by Morton and Klinger
with an aim to presenting work that has languished in the shadows,
all of these exceptional supernatural stories are sure to surprise,
delight, and frighten today's readers.
