This collection of her uniquely weird short stories and dark fantasies proves why she was once considered among the best of the genre, and why she deserves to return to those ranks today. From modernized folk tales such as \"Marsyas in Flanders\" and \"The Legend of Madame Krasinska\" to ingenious psychological hauntings such as the titular \"A Phantom Lover\" and \"A Wicked Voice,\" Lee's own voice is just as distinctive and captivating--her weird imaginings just as freshly unsettling--as in her fin desiècle heyday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMike Ashley \u003c\/b\u003eis an expert on popular fiction of the 19th and 20th centuries who has published more than 100 books on the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 7.4 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67960953012445,"sku":"9780712353816","price":19.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/dP_XB0yEsQ9780712353816.webp?v=1790833860","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/a-phantom-lover-and-other-dark-tales-by-vernon-lee-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
