Trade paperback, New, 310 pp. "The author is principally remembered for her children's books, but there was a dark side to her imagination, and in this volume we have collected twenty-three short stories in which she explored the macabre and sometimes downright horrific. From the newly collected Gothic 'A Strange Experience' (1884) and the classic 'Man-Size in Marble' (1887), through to 'The Detective' (1920) written almost four decades later, Nesbit turned time and time again to the supernatural.".

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Edith Nesbit is renowned for her children's literature, particularly her classic 1906 novel, but she also harbored a darker side showcased in her tales of terror and the supernatural. These stories were predominantly written before she gained fame as a children's author and were largely forgotten for nearly a century. In 1988, Hugh Lamb edited an anthology that revived some of her chilling works, and this expanded edition includes additional stories. Notable tales such as 'Man-Size in Marble' and 'John Charrington's Wedding' are featured alongside lesser-known but equally haunting narratives. Nesbit's eerie world features the dead returning, scientists crossing into death, souls bartered for wishes, and madness stemming from casual wagers. In his introduction, Lamb explores Nesbit's vibrant life, highlighting how her unconventional experiences distinguished her from her Victorian and Edwardian peers in the ghost story genre. He also delves into the events that inspired her supernatural fiction, which she described as bringing her "nights and nights of anguish and horror." The collection includes a variety of stories, each weaving themes of the macabre and the supernatural.
