The author of Cranford turns to the uncanny: a nursemaid in a Northumberland manor where a phantom child cries at the window, a woman whose curse gives rise to a demonic double in “The Poor Clare”, an English orphan caught in the Salem witch trials in “Lois the Witch”, and a bride who discovers the truth about her husband in “The Grey Woman”.
