"Flickan stod vid sängen, lätt framåtlutad och med händerna hårt sammanpressade, stel, spänd i varje fiber. Hennes vidöppna ögon stack ut ur sina hålor med ett uttryck av onämnbar, förstenad fasa; hennes kinder och mun var inte bleka, utan lika blygrå som hos någon som för en stund sedan dött i outsägliga plågor. När jag såg på henne rörde sig hennes läppar en aning och en fasansfull, skrovlig röst, inte det minsta lik hennes egen, sade: 'Åh! Herregud, jag har sett det!'" Skymningshistorier (1873) är en bortglömd pärla i den viktorianska litteraturen. Bland gengångare, hemsökelser och sanndrömmar smyger walesiska Rhoda Broughton (1840-1920) med säker hand in kritik av förtryckande normer och ojämlika könsförhållanden. I spökhistorians form ger hon uttryck för den skräck som var kvinnors helt egna – att vara rättslös i ett manssamhälle. Men hon gestaltade också på ett nytt sätt den händelse som var den mest avgörande i ett kvinnoliv – äktenskapet. I sina suggestiva noveller målar Broughton upp den moderna, välbärgade borgarkvinnans liv i det viktorianska England. Välstånd saknas inte, men bland de tjusiga attiraljerna och det polerade yttre lurar vålnaderna och gastarna. I denna volym av Skymningshistorier presenteras samtliga noveller från originalet i översättning av Heidi Havervik. Boken innehåller också en initierad och fyllig efterskrift av Gabriella Håkansson

As the smoky dark sweeps across the capital, strange stories emerge from the night. A seance reveals a ghastly secret in the murk of Regent's Canal. From south of the Thames come chilling reports of a spring-heeled spectre, and in Stoke Newington rumours abound of an opening to another world among the quiet alleys. Join Elizabeth Dearnley on this atmospheric tour through a shadowy London, a city which has long inspired writers of the weird and uncanny. Waiting in the hazy streets are eerie tales from Charlotte Riddell, Lettice Galbraith and Violet Hunt, along with haunting pieces by Virginia Woolf, Arthur Machen, Sam Selvon and many more.
