Weird Women

Weird Women, edited by award-winning anthologists Lisa Morton and Leslie S. Klinger, collects some of the finest tales of terror by authors as legendary as Louisa May Alcott, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, alongside works of writers who were the best sellers and critical favorites of their time - Marie Corelli, Ellen Glasgow, Charlotte Riddell - and lesser known authors who are deserving of contemporary recognition.

This important new anthology collects 13 tales by forgotten women writers from the seminal Weird Tales magazine, originally published between the 1920s and 1950s. The authors featured are Everil Worrell, Mary Elizabeth Counselman, Greye La Spina, and Eli Colter. This edition also features a new introduction by Melanie Anderson.
