Inhalt:

A second volume of the ghostly and weird by a mistress of her craft Florence Marryat was the daughter of the author Captain Frederick Marryat, who was famous during the Victorian age for his adventure stories for young readers, including 'The Children of the New Forest' and 'Mr Midshipman Easy' among others. Florence was no prim British Victorian lady. She married an officer of the Indian army, bore him eight children, and travelled extensively in India, before beginning an adulterous affair with another officer whom she subsequently married. She developed a taste for stage performance and became an actress, appearing in a variety of roles including comic opera with the D' Oyly Carte company. Marryat became renowned for her interest in spiritualism, which certainly provided inspiration and backgrounds for her supernatural fiction. In common with many popular writers of her day, Florence Marryat's literary output was prodigious. She wrote over 70 books, as well as articles for magazines and newspapers, short stories and stage plays. She knew well that there was a ready readership for the sensational fiction in which she excelled. This quite naturally included stories of the weird and other worldly, a genre in which she was particularly prolific and, like several lady writers of her era, at which she was extremely capable, this Leonaur collection of her highly regarded weird and supernatural fiction therefore spans two substantial volumes. In volume two is the novel,'The Blood of the Vampire', and seven short stories including 'Sent to His Death','The Ghost of Charlotte Cray','The Invisible Tenants of Rushmere' and others. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
