While Edith Nesbit's mainstream fiction has often been revived, her tales of terror - apart from one or two anthologised pieces - have fallen into unwarranted neglect. In the context of her life and marriage to the priapic Hubert Bland, these powerfully told tales, with their frequent sexual overtones, reflect deep-seated fears and anxieties - in particular, childhood memories of seeing mummified corpses in a Bordeaux church and a lifelong dread of being buried alive.
