Synopsis "The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Violet Hunt: Volume 1: One Novella 'Love's Last Leave', and Seven Short Stories of the Strange and Unu"

The first volume of a two volume collection of outstanding supernatural fictionViolet Hunt was a British author who was notable for her early feminist principles, which led her to form the Women Writer's Suffrage League in 1908. Born in Durham in 1862, Hunt was the daughter of the artist, Alfred William Hunt and the novelist, Margaret Raine Hunt. When the family moved to London in 1865 it became part of the Pre-Raphaelite group including John Ruskin and William Morris. In keeping with many of her contemporaries Hunt wrote short stories, novels, and biographies, becoming an active feminist who authored works in the 'New Woman' genre. She remained unmarried, but had several affairs with older men, including Somerset Maugham, H. G Wells and a long-standing relationship with Ford Madox Ford. Hunt wrote two notable collections of supernatural stories, 'Tales of the Uneasy' and 'More Tales of the Uneasy'. Although her supernatural fiction output was not large and has possibly been neglected, its quality is and remains highly regarded by authorities on the genre. Violet Hunt died in 1942.This first volume contains the novella 'Love's Last Leave', and seven short stories including 'The Night of No Weather', 'The Coach' and 'The Blue Bonnet' .Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
