A Whisper in the Dark

Back when Louisa May Alcott was an aspiring author she took to the art of telling of short stories – much like her character Jo March in ‘Little Women’.

This collection features 12 of her most thrilling and chilling stories, covering aspects of treachery, drug use, control, desire, sexual conflict, suicide, obsession – and even the supernatural. Named after the gothic masterpiece 'A Whisper in the Dark', which is one of the 12 stories included, the anthology demonstrates the remarkable range and complexity of Alcott's work.
