Product Description
Review
"A fascinating read. Generously researched and encouragingly comprehensive, this collection looks at a key period in the development of the modern short story and highlights the role that women authors--many of them forgotten--played in the exploration of the form. The range of writers is impressive: gothic, romantic, fantastic, with remarkably modern, subversive voices breaking through."
-A. L. Kennedy

It was a fascinating read, not only for the historical and literary context, but also for the breathtaking and haunting quality of some of the stories. I would recommend it to anyone as an ideal bedside companion.
