H. D. Everett
H. D. Everett (Henrietta Dorothy Everett, 1851–1923) also wrote novels as Theo Douglas. M.R. James singled out her ghost stories as “excellently conceived,” and they tend toward domestic unease and restrained terror rather than shock.
About
H. D. Everett, who published most of her fiction as Theo Douglas, wrote domestic ghost stories that M.R. James praised for quiet invention and Lovecraft credited with moments of spiritual terror. The Death-Mask, a study of mourning and the uncanny, is the best known; the surrounding tales show middle-class life invaded by the otherworldly without sensational apparatus.
