About

In 1932, popular novelist Dorothy Kathleen Broster (1877–1950) published a collection of short stories, A Fire of Driftwood. Although more than half of the stories in the collection were historical dramas, her own favourite genre, a few of the tales were distinctly supernatural or horrific. Ten years later, Broster published Couching at the Door, a slim collection of tales all concerned with the supernatural or the horrifying.
