The Open Door by Margaret Oliphant
Despite being a household name during the latter half of the 19th century, few today are aware of the thrilling tales of Margaret Oliphant, and yet they are ripe for rediscovery. From suspenseful hauntings to strange tales of afterlife and the emotional echoes of ghosts beyond simple frights, Oliphant's stories possess a unique style and nuanced voice to deliver stories thoroughly unnerving and unforgettable. This newly-edited collection features many of her 'Seen and Unseen' series - her most popular in her day - and rare tales newly revived from the Library collections.
Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897) was a Scottish novelist and author of supernatural tales, travel accounts and literary criticism. Whilst living in Edinburgh she became a frequent contributor to Blackwood’s Magazine, before moving to London in her 20s. Though her family was plagued by tragedy, she wrote prolifically throughout her life, and penned some of the finest ghost stories in the language.
