Publisher's Synopsis
Mary Wilkins Freeman's 1903 short-story collection The Wind in the Rose-Bush and Other Stories of the Supernatural is a masterpiece of regional gothic. Set in New England, the stories included in this collection explore the hidden and suppressed anxieties of women's daily lives. From the vampire-like titular character in "Luella Miller" to the childless Mrs. Bird in "The Lost Ghost," the women in these stories face the realities and horrors of domestic life at the turn of the twentieth century.
