  Her collections of supernatural short stories contain much of her best work and despite her considerable talents and literary output her reputation rests both on the literary salons she held at her home in Campden Hill, where the very best of literary society attended, and for her founding of the Women Writers' Suffrage League in 1908 and her participation in the founding of International PEN in 1921.

  Religion, attraction, and possession collide in the wild and splatter-y west as a pair of young lovers balance their feelings for one another against their deep calling to serve their faith. Eve wants to be a nun, and Peter a priest, but is their attraction for one another stronger than the call to serve? Eve becomes possessed by a demon and this sets off a trail of murder, sex, and fire across Texas, and Arizona as the couple head to California for an exorcism. Dusty western towns, sunbaked mountains, and forgotten cemeteries prove to be the perfect places for the devil to hide.
