Description:	Select Guide Rating This new anthology of Helen de Guerry Simpson's supernatural fiction selects the best of her unsettling writing, adding some little-known stories to her 1925 collection The Baseless Fabric. The Australian novelist and playwright Helen de Guerry Simpson (1897-1940) published many supernatural short stories. This new edition selects the best of her unsettling writing, adding some little-known stories to her 1925 collection The Baseless Fabric (1925). Featured stories include: ‘An Experiment of the Dead’, in which a visitor comes to visit a woman in the condemned cell. ‘Good Company’, in which a traveller in Italy becomes temporarily possessed of a hitchhiker in her mind. ‘Grey Sand and White Sand’ is the horrifying story of a landscape artist who sees and paints a different view. ‘The Outcast’, in which a soldier left for dead in the War takes his revenge on his village. ‘The Rite’, in which a discontented woman enters a wood, and emerges transformed. The Introduction is by Melissa Edmundson, the leading scholar of women’s Weird fiction and supernatural writing from the early 20th century.
