Vorse, Mary Heaton - Sinister Romance

Seven stories from 1906 - 1926 by a prolific writer, though her forays into supernatural were rare.
Few of these are as overt as ghost tales or vampire lore. These are, more often, residual echoes.
In “The Mirror Of Silence,” new owners move into Thorn House. They, and their busy-busy friends are loud, devoid of grace and empathy. After a fashion, the occupants sense, all too palpably, that the house disapproves.
“The Pavilion Of Saint Merci” is another house, more sinister this time out, with a ruinous history.
Moira often lapses into a rapturous spell in “The Other Room,” for she possesses second sight. Such souls can be challenging to live with, let alone love, especially those who would fetter them to the ordinary world.
Sinister Romance is a quiet collection, though melancholy pervades.
Jessica Salmonson provides an excellent introduction, as well as biographical details of Vorse.
I still pick up Ash-Tree books when I can. Volumes by female authors are generally more available and more affordable.
Often that holds true with other presses, as well. I’m unsure why male readers of horror and strange still harbor faint prejudices.
