Description:

Gaskell's delight in the macabre is nowhere more evident than in her short fiction, and this volume testifies to the extraordinary range of her art as a short story writer. The Grey Woman is a Gothic tale of terror and suspense, while the plot of A Dark Night's Work turns on concealed crime and a false accusation of murder. Also included in this collection are Libbie Marsh's Three Eras; Six Weeks at Heppenheim; and Cumberland Sheep-Shearers.
