Support

Melissa Edmundson, editor of Women’s Weird and Women’s Weird 2, has curated this selection of the best of Elinor Mordaunt’s supernatural short fiction. Elinor Mordaunt was the pen name of Evelyn May Clowes (1872-1942), a prolific and popular novelist and short story writer, working in Australia and Britain in the first thirty-five years of the twentieth century. 

Edmundson’s stories blend the technologies and social attitudes of modernity with the classic supernatural tropes of the ghost, the haunted house, possession, conjuration from the dead and witchcraft. Each story is an original and compelling contribution to supernatural fiction, making this selection a marvelous new showcase for women’s writing in the genres. 

The Villa and The Vortex includes the following short stories:



  • The Weakening Point

  • The Country-side

  • The Vortex

  • Hodge

  • The Fountain

  • Luz 

  • The Landlady

  • Four Wallpapers

  • The Villa 

‘ The Villa and the Vortex is a must-read for those who find themselves drawn to older weird fiction, and for those with a fondness for older supernatural and ghost stories.’ – What Sleeps Beneath 

‘An attractive, enjoyable collection of supernatural tales, including some real gems.’ – British Fantasy Society
