May Sinclair was an innovator of modern fiction, a late Victorian who was also a precursor to Virginia Woolf. In her «Uncanny Stories» (1923), Sinclair combines the traditional ghost story with the discoveries of Freud and Einstein. The stories shock, enthral, delight and unsettle. Specially included in this volume is «The Intercessor» (1911), Sinclair's powerful story of childhood and abandoned love, a tale whose intensity compares with that of the Brontes.
