Wilson Henshaw, Ezra Bedford, and Theo Hopcraft bring us three retro and female-led tales in this volume of crime, horror, and the occult from the beginning of the previous century. Read on as a stuffy and correct husband finds himself inexplicably drawn to the Indian woman his wife's aunt has paid to become their housekeeper - his obsession with her feet something that will turn the social dynamics of his once respectable household upon its head.
In another misadventure, a down-on-his-luck convict and former felon finds live-in employment in the home of a strange heiress and the woman's even stranger African domestic. Finally, we are given the tale of a strange Cornwall house and the grisly history that reaches from the past to the present to suck a visitor from London into the service of the female revenant haunting it. Believable fantasy fiction in the classic style.
