Following the success of Handheld Press's 2019 best-selling anthology Women's Weird, this second collection of classic Weird short fiction by women authors, Women's Weird 2, contains thirteen remarkably chilling stories originally published from 1891 to 1937, by women authors from the USA, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, India and Australia. Featured stories include: Katherine Mansfield's 'The House' (1912), Bithia Mary Croker's 'The Red Bungalow' (1919), Marjorie Bowen's 'Florence Flannery' (1924), L M Montgomery's 'The House Party at Smoky Island' (1934), Stella Gibbons' 'Roaring Tower' (1937), Melissa Edmundson's introduction explores how the evolving Weird tradition was interpreted using colonial settings, and by mainstream writers. She presents long-forgotten but superb Australia Weird authors Barbara Baynton and Helen Simpson to contrast with the work of Katherine Mansfield, L M Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables) and Stella Gibbons (Cold Comfort Farm), who are not normally considered to be authors of supernatural fiction.
