Women’s Weird 2 contains thirteen remarkably chilling stories originally published from 1891 to 1937, by women authors from the USA, the UK, New Zealand, Canada, India and Australia.
Read thoroughly frightening fiction by the most unexpected of Weird authors: Stella Gibbons, L M Montgomery and Katherine Mansfield.
Featured stories include: Lettice Galbraith's 'The Blue Room' (1897) Barbara Baynton's 'A Dreamer' (1902) Katherine Mansfield's 'The House' (1912) Bithia Mary Croker's 'The Red Bungalow' (1919) Marjorie Bowen's 'Florence Flannery' (1924) L M Montgomery's 'The House Party at Smoky Island' (1934) Stella Gibbons' 'Roaring Tower' (1937)
Melissa Edmundson's introduction explores how the evolving Weird tradition was interpreted using colonial settings, and focus on how Weird fitted naturally into the careers of writers like Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables) and Gibbons (Cold Comfort Farm) who were not normally considered exponents of supernatural fiction.
