The Outcast and The Rite
Now published!
The forgotten but award-winning Australian novelist and polymath Helen de Guerry Simpson (1897-1940) wrote uncanny terror like a scalpel applied lightly to the nerves. She published many supernatural short stories before her untimely death in 1940 in London. This new edition selects the best of her unsettling writing, with an Introduction by Melissa Edmundson
