Weird women. Volume 2, Classic supernatural fiction by groundbreaking female writers, 1840-1925
(Book)

"Following the success of their acclaimed Weird Women, star anthologists Lisa Morton and Leslie S. Klinger return with another offering of overlooked masterworks from early female horror writers. This new volume once again gathers some of the most famous voices of literature -- George Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Edith Wharton -- along with chilling tales by writers who were among the bestselling and most critically-praised authors of the early supernatural story, including Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Vernon Lee, Florence Marryat, and Margaret Oliphant. There are, of course, ghost stories here, but also tales of vampirism, mesmerism, witches, haunted India, demonic entities, and journeys into the afterlife. Introduced and annotated for modern readers, Morton and Klinger have curated more stories sure to provide another 'feast of entertaining and scary reads' (Library Journal)."--,jacket.
