A Dark Night's Work and Other Stories

A Dark Night's Work and Other Stories

Suzanne Lewis
3.6/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Elizabeth Gaskell's delight in the macabre is nowhere more evident than in her short fiction. This volume testifies to the extraordinary range of Gaskell's 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.

Gaskell did not rely on Gothic thrills or sensational action to gain a reputation among her friends as a gifted storyteller or to become one of the most popular authors of her day. As Charles Dickens appreciated when he addressed her as 'My dear Scheherezade', Gaskell could transform the most simplest events of daily life into comedy or tragedy, horror or beauty.
