[Spanish] - Hetty Gray: Hija de nadie 'Nobody's Bairn'

"Un día, en la playa de Wavertree tras un naufragio, el señor Kane, un lugareño pobre, encuentra un bebé que ha sobrevivido. Como nadie lo reclama, su esposa y él se hacen cargo de la pequeña. Esta, al ir creciendo, se va haciendo cada vez más bonita y vivaracha. Tanto que acaba por cautivar a la señora Rushton, una viuda rica que decide adoptarla y llevarla por ahí como si fuera un trofeo, no un ser humano al que educar. Hetty crece así encaprichada y, a la vez, sola y descuidada, sin recibir educación alguna. Las cosas no hacen sino empeorar cuando la viuda fallece y el hermano de esta, el señor Enderby, la adopta y hace que reciba educación junto a sus hijas, para que un día pueda convertirse en institutriz y sea independiente. Pero Hetty no aprende y resulta ser un fiasco para la familia; lo único que hace bien es dibujar. Cuando parece que ya nadie se interesa en ella aparece una joven, Raine, que sorprende a todos por el gran parecido que tiene con Hetty. ¿Quién es esta joven? Y, sobre todo, ¿quién es la propia Hetty?"

Wonder Of Women - Ghost Stories

"Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - Ghost Stories - An Introduction2 - Man Size In Marble by Edith Nesbit3 - The Eyes by Edith Wharton4 - The Story of Salome by Amelia Edwards5 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman6 - A Spirit Elopement by Clotilde Graves7 - Since I Died by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps8 - Reality or Delusion by Mrs Ellen Wood9 - Was It An Illusion.

Atmospheric Horror Stories

"Horror stories are designed from the onset to create a story that will suddenly go very wrong and create a sheer horror and hell not only for the characters in the story but by extension ourselves. In this carefully crafted volume, our authors use their talents to create an atmosphere that might start with tingling tension but builds and builds until we can trust nothing but the certainty of the next few words and the wrath they will bring.1 - Atmospheric Horror Stories - An Introduction2 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving3 - Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad by M R James4 - For the Blood is the Life by F Marion Crawford5 - The Spectral Hand by Jean Lorrain6 - A Diagnosis of Death by Ambrose Bierce7 - Let Loose by Mary Cholmondeley8 - The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood9 - The Prediction by Mary Diana Dods writing as David Lyndsey10 - Vampirismus or Aurelia by E T A Hoffman11 - Caterpillars by E F Benson12 - Smee by A M Burrage13 - Count Magnus by M R James14 - The Crimson Weaver by R Murray Gilchrist15 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman16 - The Villa Désirée by May Sinclair17 - The Empty House by Algernon Blackwood18 - The Open Door - Part 1 by Margaret Oliphant19 - The Open Door - Part 2 by Margaret Oliphant20 - The Ghost at the Rath by Rosa Mulholland21 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach22 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach"

The Foundations of Fiction - Haunted House

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. The dark forces of history have a way of settling in houses, usually large and rambling, but also small and nestled in a city, and from there all sorts of uneasy happenings begin. Authors have very playful imaginations, as well as some very disturbing ideas as they escalate the interactions between people and the growing source of terror that is with us and around us."

The Top 10 Short Stories - European Gothic

"Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume our authors present tales of dark, macabre, and disturbing deeds. From the pens of Nikolai Gogol, Miguel de Cervantes, Mor Jokai, E T A Hoffman and many others come carefully crafted literary journeys designed to disrupt reality, jangle nerves and feed upon our souls. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - European Gothic -An Introduction 2 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens 3 - St Johns Eve by Nikolai Gogol 4 - The Force of Blood by Miguel de Cervantes 5 - Olalla - Part 1 by Robert Louis Stevenson 6 - Olalla - Part 2 by Robert Louis Stevenson 7 - The Ghost at the Wrath by Rosa Mulholland 8 - The Sand-Man - Part 1 by E T A Hoffman 9 - The Sand-Man - Part 2 by E T A Hoffman 10 - The Spectral Hand by Jean Lorrain 11 - The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth by Rhoda Broughton 12 - Green Tea - Part 1 by Sheridan Le Fanu 13 - Green Tea - Part 2 by Sheridan Le Fanu 14 - The Bundle of Letters by Moritz Jokai 15 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach 16 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach"

The Ghost at the Rath by Rosa Mulholland

"Rosa Mulholland was born in Belfast on 19th March 1841. She originally wished to become a painter but turned to literary pursuits and attempted to publish her first book at 15. Charles Dickens, who took an early interest in her work, did much to encourage and help her during his lifetime including publishing many of her works in his magazine 'All the Year Round'.Her early years in the remote and mountainous west of Ireland helped her gather backdrops, landscapes and characters that would be put to great use later in her career. Mulholland was a keen poet and was published in magazines and journals as well as in book form. She was also a devout Catholic and prominent in literacy circles.In May 1891 she married John Thomas Gilbert in Dublin. He was a Dublin antiquarian and historian, who authored the 'History of the City of Dublin', and edited several other important standard works. With his knighthood in 1897 Rosa became Lady Gilbert.Mulholland was a prolific and well-received writer during her career. Her early works tend to show women yearning for careers and lifestyles that at that point society would not accept and she was careful not to overstep those boundaries. In her later years much of her fiction was embedded with independent, strong-willed female heroines.Rosa Mulholland died on 21st April 1921 in Dublin, Ireland.One of Mulholland's most popular short stories is 'The Ghost at the Rath'. An inherited house is not as welcoming as one hoped it would be."
