Eyes of Terror and Other Dark Adventures

Eyes of Terror and Other Dark Adventures

Janis Dawson
4/5 ( ratings)
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.
