Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 019282807X, Paperback)

Gaskell's delight in the macabre is nowhere more evident than in her short fiction, and this volume testifies to the extraordinary range of her art as a short story writer. The Grey Woman is a Gothic tale of terror and suspense, while the plot of A Dark Night's Work turns on concealed crime and a false accusation of murder. Also included in this collection are Libbie Marsh's Three Eras; Six Weeks at Heppenheim; and Cumberland Sheep-Shearers.
