Description
E NESBIT: GOTHIC HORROR The first three books of Gothic Horror style short stories by E. Nesbit, incorporating the stories in full from the books 'Grim Tales', 1893, 'Something Wrong', 1893, and 'Fear, ' 1910. For the first time available in one volume, from the author famous for children's classics such as The Railway Children and The Treasure Seekers, we discover a very different darker side to the woman who greatly inspired authors such as J.K. Rowling and C.S. Lewis. In pure gothic horror style, E. Nesbit includes bite sized tales of red-headed temptresses, darkness and shadows, bodies coming alive, death of loved ones, being buried alive, philandering men, unrequited love, social poverty, and writing through the night to earn enough money to eat due to make ends meet. All themes which ran through the personal life of the author Edith Nesbit. This volume is a reproduction of the three 'horror' collections of short stories published in Edith's lifetime gathered together in one volume. It is Volume One in a series of collections of E. Nesbit's short story works. She wrote many short stories for magazine publications, and published other collections of these works which are available in further volumes in this series. Collected, reproofed, and edited by SJ Hills from rare original published editions. DO NOT READ ALONE IN THE DARK
