This new anthology follows the instrumental contributions made by women writers to the weird tale, and revives the lost authors of the early pulp magazines along with the often overlooked work of more familiar authors. See the darker side of \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Garden \u003c\/i\u003eauthor Frances Hodgson Burnett and the sensitively-drawn nightmares of Marie Corelli and Violet Quirk.
