*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for this books category, with an image for each book. Violet Paget, who wrote under the name of Vernon Lee, was born in 1856 and died in 1935. She was a noted student and authority on Italian drama, poetry, music and art of the 18th century, and wrote many books on this period. She also wrote horror/ghost stories with an elegance and eloquence of style, with a flowing, almost poetical nature to her prose. Set in the period and place she knew best, these are macabre stories of ghosts, obsessions and revenge. We have two of her collections published by Corgi in paperback in 1962 with striking covers by Fritz Wegner; they’re both uncommon.
