A young girl whose love for her fiancé 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.
The Face in the Glass is the first selection of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's supernatural short stories to be widely available in more than 100 years. By turns curious, sinister, haunting and terrifying, each tale explores the dark shadows that exist beyond the rational world.
Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915) was a prominent and prolific Victorian novelist whose major works included Lady Audley's Secret and Aurora Floyd. Increasingly Braddon is regarded as one of the finest and most entertaining authors of her generation.
