British Library Publishing Face in the Glass

A chilling collection of classic short stories by an important, but neglected, Victorian author. A young girl whose love for her fiance continues even after her death; a sinister old lady with claw-like hands who cares little for the qualities of her companions provided they are young and full of life; and a haunted mirror that foretells of approaching death for those who gaze into its depths. These are just some of the haunting tales gathered in this classic collection of macabre short stories. Reissued in the Tales of the Weird series and introduced by British Library curator Greg Buzwell.
