Charlotte Riddell (1832-1906), also known as Mrs. J.H. Riddell and F.G. Trafford, was a well-known writer of supernatural fiction. In an essay on her life, S.M. Ellis called her “a born story-teller”. In addition to producing numerous novels, she wrote a tremendous number of short stories and tales for a wide variety of publications. Ellis wrote that she had written so many that “she lost all count of her works, possessed very few copies of them herself, and often forgot where certain stories had appeared or what had happened to her rights in them.” At her time, she was compared with Sheridan Le Fanu and her work was praised by M.R. James, a master of supernatural fiction himself. (more…)
