Narrator's Note:

What is more frightening? That ghosts are real? Or being laughed at for believing that ghosts are real?

A nugget about Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards:

Novelist. Journalist. Illustrator. Poet. Traveller. Egyptologist. This section might be too small for the life that was Amelia Edwards. She wrote about her travels across Europe and the Nile, often accompanied by a female companion. It is said that she was more emotionally attached to women more than men, though there are no documents that firmly affirms the intimate nature of those relationships. She authored and illustrated works which spanned fiction and non-fiction, and was even honored with the title of "Godmother of Egyptology" for her contributions to the field. But as her gothic horror stories (which are rich in human insight) are almost always included in compilations, it'd be safe to call her one of the many Godmothers of Gothic Horror.

Let's not forget the life and works of one of the most remarkable women writers in history.

Look for the works, fiction and non-fiction, of Amelia B. Edwards wherever great books are available.
