“The author is principally remembered for her children's books, but there was a dark side to her imagination, and in this volume we have collected twenty-three short stories in which she explored the macabre and sometimes downright horrific. From the newly collected Gothic ‘A Strange Experience’ (1884) and the classic ‘Man-Size in Marble’ (1887), through to ‘The Detective’ (1920) written almost four decades later, Nesbit turned time and time again to the supernatural.” #75379
