Bird of Ill Omen

Coincides with renewed academic interest in Crowe's important influence on the English Gothic and 'real' ghost story traditions. This anthology shines a spotlight on a writer whose work played a significant role in the development of popular Victorian ghost literature, but whose name has remained in the shadows for too long. Showcases the author's well-researched interest in Gothic tropes of vampirism, mesmerism, and includes the first English werewolf story penned by a woman: 'A Story of a Weir Wolf'.
