I've received an ebook from Handheld Press! I think this is the first from this interesting British-based publisher. I hope to review each story in the collection in my usual fashion over the next couple of weeks. Here is the advance information.
Following the success of Handheld Press’s 2019 bestselling anthology Women’s Weird, we will be publishing a second anthology of classic Weird short fiction by women authors. To be published alongside James Machin’s anthology of classic British Weird fiction, British Weird, Women’s Weird 2 will contain thirteen remarkably chilling stories originally published from 1891 to 1937, by women authors from the USA, Canada, the UK, India and Australia. Featured stories will include:
❑ Lettice Galbraith’s ‘The Blue Room’ (1897)
❑ Barbara Baynton’s ‘A Dreamer’ (1902)
❑ Katherine Mansfield’s ‘The House’ (1912)
❑ Bithia Mary Croker’s ‘The Red Bungalow’ (1919)
❑ Marjorie Bowen’s ‘Florence Flannery’ (1924)
❑ L M Montgomery’s ‘The House Party at Smoky Island’ (1934)
❑ Stella Gibbons’ ‘Roaring Tower’ (1937)
Melissa Edmundson’s introduction will explore how the evolving Weird tradition was interpreted using colonial settings, and focus on how Weird fitted naturally into the careers of writers like Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables) and Gibbons (Cold Comfort Farm) who were not normally considered exponents of supernatural fiction. Focus: horror, supernatural, ghost stories, science fiction, fantasy, short fiction, women authors. UK distribution by Combined Book Services. UK sales representation by Signature Books Representation (UK), sales @signaturebooksuk.com, 0845 862 1730. North American sales representation and distribution by Two Rivers / Ingram,
