Eyes of Terror and Other Dark Adventures

Despite her wide contributions to genre literature Irish author L. T. Meade is now remembered if at all for her girls school stories. However in 1898 the Strand Magazine famous for its fictions of crime detection and the uncanny proclaimed Meade one of its most popular writers for her contributions to its signature fare. Her stories widely published in popular fin de siècle magazines included classic tales of the supernatural but her specialty was medical or scientific mysteries featuring doctors scientists occult detectives criminal women with weird powers unusual medical interventions fantastic scientific devices murder mesmerism and manifestations of insanity. Eyes of Terror and Other Dark Adventures is the first collection to showcase the best of her pioneering strange fiction.
