A meeting of lost souls in the care of a headless coachman. An obsession with eugenics descends into a cruel madness.

In 1911, the British writer, feminist and literary salon hostess Violet Hunt published her groundbreaking first collection of uncanny stories, Tales of the Uneasy, exploring psychological and ghostly hauntings shot through with tragedy. Seeking to promote Hunt’s achievements as a writer – often obscured by the famous authors of her social set – literary historian Melissa Edmundson presents a new edition of her eeriest work, including material from Hunt’s 1923 volume More Tales of the Uneasy.
