'Good Company', in which a traveller in Italy becomes temporarily possessed of a hitchhiker in her mind.
'Grey Sand and White Sand' is the horrifying story of a landscape artist who sees and paints a different view.
'The Outcast', in which a soldier left for dead in the War takes his revenge on his village.

The Introduction is by Melissa Edmundson, the leading scholar of women's Weird fiction and supernatural writing from the early 20th century.
