Autorenporträt
Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was an English playwright and author, most famous today for his classic sensation novel The Woman in White and The Moonstone, which is considered one of the first detective novels in English literature. Aside from these longer works, Collins also wrote numerous short tales for magazines and anthologies, often straying into the macabre world of the ghost story. Dr. Xavier Aldana Reyes is Reader in English Literature and Film at Manchester Metropolitan University, where he co-leads the Manchester Center for Gothic Studies. He has edited six anthologies for British Library Publishing.
