Produktbeschreibung
A whisper travels through the pages, pulling you toward rooms where shadows remember your name. Beyond These Voices gathers a haunting collection of supernatural tales that linger long after the final line. This is more than a short story anthology. M. E. Braddon steeps readers in Victorian mystery and suspense, offering stories told from haunted voices and through enigmatic narrators who see what others prefer to forget. The collection presents a refined Victorian gothic sensibility-haunted rooms, unspoken rumours, and a mood that mirrors late nineteenth century Britain-while inviting modern readers to witness the uncanny with fresh clarity. The influence of masterful minds-from the Brontë sisters to Edgar Allan Poe-threads through the atmosphere, crafting psychological chills that hinge on character as much as on dread. Historically significant and exquisitely curated, this edition preserves a cultural treasure from a pivotal era of English literature. It speaks to casual readers drawn to atmospheric horror and to classic-literature collectors who seek a gift edition collection worthy of study and reverence. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's audiences and for future generations. More than a reprint, Beyond These Voices is a collector's item-a refined portal into Victorian era England, designed to thrill, endure, and spark conversation for years to come.
Autorenporträt
Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835 1915) was an English novelist, best known for her sensationalist novels during the Victorian era. Her 1862 novel Lady Audley's Secret is particularly famous, earning her widespread recognition and cementing her place in literary history. Braddon s works often dealt with themes of hidden secrets, psychological tension, and societal norms, becoming widely popular with Victorian readers. She was born in London and had a varied career, initially acting before turning to writing. Her work often blended romance, mystery, and drama, and she became a key figure in the genre of sensation novels. Braddon s personal life was also colorful; she had a long relationship with her publisher, John Maxwell, whom she married in 1874. She had two children, both of whom also pursued literary careers. Braddon s influence on Victorian fiction was significant, and her works were admired for their compelling plots and ability to explore darker aspects of human nature, often challenging the moral and social codes of her time. She passed away at the age of 79 in Richmond, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be appreciated in both literary and popular contexts.
