Falling into the trap of writing commercially successful literary fiction, sure to alienate literary critics of yore, May Sinclair’s reputation has been unfairly diminished in recent years – although in her day she drew the praise of writers as respected and disparate as George Orwell and Agatha Christie.Combining the traditional ghost story with Freudian logic and Modernist values, these Uncanny Stories – the first of two supernatural story collections – are a thrilling, familiar read, and yet a shocking departure from the genre as it was known, and makes for as compelling a read today as the day they were written.

May Sinclair (Mary Amelia St Clair, 1863–1946) was a popular British novelist, essayist, literary critic and poet. She was an active suffragist, and wrote pamphlets for the Woman Writers’ Suffrage League, as well as extensive literary criticism (most notably her 1918 review of Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage, in which she coined the literary term ‘stream of consciousness’) and poetry, and she was a well-read author of some twenty-three novels. She is perhaps best known today for The Life and Death of Harriett Frean (1922), as well as her supernatural fiction, collected in Uncanny Stories (1923) and The Intercessor and Other Stories (1931).
