A master of gothic literature, Elizabeth Gaskell's darkest horror stories are collected in this haunting anthology.

From ghostly apparitions to unsettling family secrets, these stories helped define classic gothic literature. Gaskill’s writing is filled with vivid imagery, emotional depth, and a haunting sense of foreboding that showcases her exceptional storytelling. Exploring the darker side of human nature, each tale will linger in the mind long after the final page.

Some of the short stories featured include:

• The Old Nurse’s Story

• Morton Hall

• The Doom of the Griffiths

• The Ghost in the Garden Room

• The Grey Woman

• Lois the Witch

This volume is part of the Mothers of the Macabre series, celebrating the works of pioneering women writers who shaped the genre of gothic horror. Elizabeth Gaskell’s stories in this collection, originally published in the mid-nineteenth century, continue to captivate readers and are not to be missed by lovers of dark tales.
