An expert at chilling the spine and curdling the blood, Edith Nesbit relates three of her best Gothic tales while recalling her own childhood terrors. In ‘The Shadow’, a repressed housekeeper encounters an abominable entity, while in ‘The Pavilion’ the shade of a long-dead necromancer envelops a social gathering. Finally, a deranged young woman harbours a deadly secret in a rediscovered story called ‘A Strange Experience’.
‘A dazzling display of versatility … a must-see.’
