The Toe-Ring... Plus-2

Wilson Henshaw, Ezra Bedford, and Theo Hopcraft bring us three retro and female-led tales in this volume of crime, horror, and the occult from the beginning of the previous century.

Read on as a stuffy and correct husband finds himself inexplicably drawn to the Indian woman his wife's aunt has paid to become their housekeeper - his obsession with her feet something that will turn the social dynamics of his once respectable household upon its head… In another misadventure, a down-on-his-luck convict and former felon finds live-in employment in the home of a strange heiress and the woman's even stranger African domestic… Finally, we are given the tale of a strange Cornwall house and the grisly history that reaches from the past to the present to suck a visitor from London into the service of the female revenant haunting it.

Believable fantasy fiction in the classic style.
