HORROR & SUPERNATURAL Boxed Set: 40+ Mystery Novels & Short Stories (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Gothic mysteries and twilight tales of Victorian dread and paranormal suspenseBy Marjorie Bowen
Length91h 56m
About this audiobook
Gathering more than forty mystery novels and tales, HORROR & SUPERNATURAL Boxed Set displays Marjorie Bowen's command of the Gothic imagination: haunted houses, cursed inheritances, spectral visitations, moral corruption, and crimes whose consequences exceed ordinary detection. Her prose is elegant, swift, and atmospheric, combining the historical richness of late-Victorian romance with the psychological unease of the Edwardian and interwar ghost story. Bowen's supernatural fiction stands beside the work of M. R. James and Vernon Lee, yet is often darker in its attention to guilt, decay, and fatal obsession. Marjorie Bowen was the principal pseudonym of Margaret Gabrielle Vere Long, a remarkably prolific British writer who also published as Joseph Shearing, George R. Preedy, and others. Forced early into professional authorship, she developed an acute understanding of social precarity, frustrated ambition, and hidden violence. Her fascination with history, costume, and moral extremity helped shape stories in which the past is never dead but returns as menace. This collection is recommended to readers who value literary horror with intelligence and texture. It offers not merely thrills, but a sustained exploration of fear as memory, inheritance, and conscience.
