She appeared to have wings, which hummed in their furious movement; she was red in the face, her eyes burned; she grinned at me and ground her little teeth together. A curious shrill noise came from her, like the screaming of a gnat or hoverfly; but no words, never any words. Gothic grotesqueries, penny dreadfuls, pulp magazines, and other darkly inventive publications have produced a dread allure across the world, infiltrating culture and influencing language, becoming the source for multiple adaptations across all forms of media. Curated and edited by C.S.R. Calloway, Horror Historia Violet brings together thirty-one of the most horrifying and heartbreaking stories of ethereal spirits. Fairies, elves, goblins, kelpies, nymphs, dryads, sirens, banshees, sprites, and even Pan himself are presented here from an assortment of writers.

Sheridan Le Fanu, "The Devil of the Marsh" by H. B. Marriott Watson, "Frank Martin and the Fairies" by William Carleton, "The Kelpie" by Manly Wade Wellman, "The Man Who Went Too Far" by E. F. Benson, "The Moon-Slave" by Barry Pain, "The Moorland Stream" by Arthur L. Salmon, "The Music on the Hill" by Saki, "A Night on the Enchanted Mountains" by Charles Fenno Hoffman, "Norah and the Fairies" by Hume Nisbet, "The Nymph of the Fountain" by Johann Karl August Musäus, "Seppi, the Goatherd" by C. B. Burckhardt, "The Shining Pyramid" and "The White People" by Arthur Machen, "The Story of a Panic" by E. M. Forster, "The Transformation" by Mary Shelley, "The Wife of Kong Tolv" by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik, "The Women of the Wood" by Abraham Merritt, and the anonymously published "The Enchanted Lake," "The Nymph of the Waters," and "The Water Lady."
