Her cheeks were pale, and her eyes had the wild and stolid glare
which Rodolph had observed when she awakened from the slumber of
the grave; she quitted the castle, and after gazing around her, as
if uncertain which way to go, she proceeded towards the village. In
the mid 1800s, the inexpensive publications known as penny bloods
were all the rage in Britain. Spinning tales of high Gothic drama,
violence and monstrosity, this literary phenomenon was significant
for its depictions of dangerous and transgressive women which
inspired such milestone Gothic works as Sheridan Le Fanu's
Carmilla. Collecting ten tales from classic - and truly obscure -
penny publications and featuring newly edited text and insights
from Dr Dittmer's research, this new volume revives a company of
witches, femme fatales, vampire mistresses and deadly criminals to
enthrall a new generation of readers.
