Cover of Terrific Tales (Valancourt Book) Lewis, Isabella

About the author

"Terrific Tales" is a collection of supernatural short fiction attributed to Isabella Lewis, reprinted in several public-domain editions, including ones from Legare Street Press and Valancourt Books. The stories gather classic gothic and horror material: an account of a hanged woman said to be possessed, hobgoblins reported near the castle of Lusignan in 1620, a young woman transformed into a black cat after an impious wish, nightmares, and a young man who sells himself to the devil. The book sits within the tradition of nineteenth-century terror fiction and ghost-story anthologies later kept in print by public-domain reprint publishers. Readers coming to it should expect period gothic horror rather than contemporary writing, and the different editions listed reflect its status as a reprinted historical text rather than a book with a single defined modern edition or biography attached to its author.
