Innovadora y poseedora de una originalidad sin límites, esta extraordinaria narradora fue la primera mujer en firmar con su nombre real en una revista pulp (Argosy, 1904) antes de adoptar el seudónimo de Francis Stevens, bajo el que publicó sus obras más destacadas.

Dos narraciones siniestras cuyos desenlaces evidencian la perversa oscuridad de la naturaleza humana.…
