Braddon is remembered among fans of weird fiction for her classic horror and ghost stories, the most famous of which are collected here. Stories include "At Chrighton Abbey, " "The Cold Embrace, " and "The Shadow in the Corner", "Good Lady Ducayne" and "Eveline's Vistant".

MARY ELIZABETH BRADDON (1835-1915) was one of the most prolific and popular authors of her day. She was responsible for no less than 80 novels, 9 plays, and dozens (perhaps hundreds) of short stories and articles, many of which were published pseudonymously in cheap and sensational magazine.

Today Mary Elizabeth Braddon is remembered among fans
of weird fiction for her classic horror and ghost stories, the
most famous of which are collected herein.

"At Chrighton Abbey" is a Christmas ghost story.

"The Cold Embrace is the story of a proud art student
pursued by the ghost of a lover he scorned.

"The Shadow in the Corner" uses rationalism to try to
explain away a ghostly presence, with no success.

"Good Lady Ducayne" is Braddon's updated reworking of the
vampire myth, using Victorian-era medical knowledge instead
of the supernatural (and it is all the more chilling because of
its pluasibility).

"Eveline's Visitant" is the tale of two cousins who fight to the
death over a woman and the loser vows to haunt the one
who killed him in his moment of greatest happiness.**
