A young girl whose love for her fiance continues even after her death; a sinister old lady with claw-like hands who cares little for the qualities of her companions provided they are young and full of life; and a haunted mirror that foretells of approaching death for those who gaze into its depths. These are just some of the haunting tales gathered together in this macabre collection of short stories. Reissued in the Tales of the Weird series and introduced by British Library curator Greg Buzwell, The Face in the Glass is the first selection of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's supernatural short stories to be widely available in more than 100 years. By turns curious, sinister, haunting and terrifying, each tale explores the dark shadows beyond the rational world.

Fans of British Mysteries are in for a treat! Included in Volume 2 of British Mystery Multipacks: 
 LADY AUDLEY’S SECRET by Mary Elizabeth Braddon 
 First published in 1862, Lady Audley’s Secret has been called "the most sensationally successful of all the sensation novels”. Elements of Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s classic mirror themes of the real-life Constance Kent case of June 1860 which gripped the nation for years. Constance Emily Kent was an English woman who confessed to a notorious child murder that took place when she was sixteen years old. 
 THE FOUR JUST MEN by Edgar Wallace 
 From the creator of King Kong comes The Four Just Men, a detective mystery first published in 1905. After The Great War, the four eponymous men are pardoned on condition that they remain within the law and continue to operate a legitimate detective agency. But the four men take it upon themselves to kill for the greater cause of justice--in theory, those who are "beyond the law" like government figures, lawmakers, and other figures powerful enough to thwart justice. 
 THE NINESCORE MYSTERY by Baroness Orczy 
 From Baroness Orczy, author of The Scarlet Pimpernel, comes the first in a series of 12 stories featuring one of literature’s first female detectives. Molly Robertson-Kirk a.k.a. Lady Molly of Scotland Yard shares the same mental prowess as C. Auguste Dupin and Sherlock Holmes but brings a woman’s wit to the table making for a formidable crime buster.
