Description
'Collected Twilight Stories' is a compilation of eighteen of Marjorie Bowen's supernatural horror stories. 'Marjorie Bowen' is a nom de plume of the British Author Gabrielle Margaret Vere Long (1885-1952). Sally Benson in The New Yorker (1965) describes her work under the pseudonym 'Joseph Shearing' - "[she] is a painstaking researcher, a superb writer, a careful technician, and a master of horror. There is no one else quite like [her]". Gabrielle's father was an alchoholic and he left the family home when she was young, eventually being found dead on a London street. Consequently, her writings were the main source of income for her family. She was married twice, initially for four years to a Sicilian named Zefferino Emilio Constanza, who died of turberculosis, and then to Arthur L. Long. This collection comprises the following eighteen short stories: Scoured Silk; The Breakdown; One Remained Behind - A Romance A La Mode Gothique; The House By The Poppy Field; Half-Past Two; Elsie's Lonely Afternoon; The Extraordinary Adventure Of Mr John Proudie; Ann Mellor's Lover; Florence Flannery; Kecksies; The Avenging Of Ann Leete; The Bishop Of Hell; The Crown Derby Plate; The Fair Hair Of Ambrosine; The Housekeeper; Raw Material; The Hidden Ape; The Sign-Painter And The Crystal Fishes
