I've just finished reading Night Shivers, a collection of ghost stories by the above published by Wordsworth in their "Tales of Mystery and the Supernatural" series. Mrs Riddell is a completely new author to me and sufficiently obscure not to be featured at all on the Gaslight website, though a number of these and other stories appear on the Horrormasters website.
The core of the volume is a collection of stories originally published in 1882 as "Weird Tales". It seems that during her lifetime she was compared to Le Fanu, and it was indeed of Le Fanu that her writing kept reminding me.
