Sinossi

In "The Little Room, and Other Stories," Madeline Yale Wynne crafts a collection of narratives that delve into the nuanced realms of psychology and the spectral. Her prose is characterized by its delicate precision and vivid imagery, skillfully merging supernatural elements with the intricacies of human emotion. Wynne'Äôs stories reflect the late 19th-century literary context, where gothic sensibilities intersect with emerging modernist themes, resulting in a tapestry of narratives that probe the boundaries of reality, illusion, and the complexities of the human psyche. Madeline Yale Wynne, an accomplished writer at a time when women authors were often marginalized, drew from her own experiences in family and domesticity, as well as her fascination with the unexplained. An advocate for women's rights and education, Wynne'Äôs perspectives are imbued with a subtle feminist undertone, challenging the era's conventional societal norms and providing depth to her characters' struggles against societal expectations. This collection is highly recommended for scholars of feminist literature, enthusiasts of gothic fiction, and readers drawn to the exploration of psychological depth within mysterious settings. Wynne's rich narratives offer not only entertainment but also a profound invitation to reflect on the human experience and the unseen forces that shape it.

    Everything’s fresh on Lilith’s Farm. Especially the bodies. 
    A sinister forest, toxic fungus, and the dark secrets of a crazy old woman meet in a tale of vengeance, betrayal, and terror. 
    Cece grew up in Spotsylvania, Virginia, but she left a long time ago. She’d rather live the life of the road dog than stay in that backwoods dump, even if it means never having a place of her own. 
    But when a mysterious postcard from her missing father arrives, she finds herself pulled back home to the place where he was last seen: Lilith’s Farm. The work is hard and her bosses are jerks, but at least the food is good. 
    Then strange things begin to happen. The fence that borders the property seems like it’s under attack from the forest. Toxic fungus balls keep popping up on the tree trunks. And one by one, Cece’s fellow workers go missing. 
    Any normal person would try to escape, but escape isn’t possible. Besides, Cece’s on a mission to find her father, and nothing, not the forest, not the fungus balls, not her creepy bosses, will stop her… except death, of course. 
    At once twisted, horrific, and surprisingly funny, Mungwort does for the forest what Alien did for space: everybody can hear you scream, but they just don’t care.
