D K Broster was one of the great British historical novelists of
the twentieth century, but her Weird fiction has long been
forgotten. She wrote some of the most impressive supernatural short
stories to be published between the wars. Melissa Edmundson, editor
of Women's Weird, Women's Weird 2, Elinor Mordaunt's The Villa and
The Vortex and Helen Simpson's The Outcast and The Rite, all
published by Handheld, has curated a selection of Broster's best
and most terrifying work. From the Abyss contains eleven stories,
including: 'The Window', in which a deserted chateau takes revenge
on anyone who opens one particular window. 'The Pavement', in which
the protectress of a Roman mosaic cannot bear to let it go.
'Clairvoyance', in which the spirit of a vengeful Japanese
swordmaster enters an adolescent girl. 'From the Abyss', in which
the survivor of a car crash is followed out of the gorge by her
doppelganger.
One of the first students at St. Hilda's College, Oxford, D.K.
Broster (1877-1950) wrote popular historical novels after serving
as a Red Cross nurse during World War I, including this tale of the
adventures of royalist sympathizers after the French Revolution.
