Delicious fun! This is the kind of story I suspect Jo March loved, and with good reason! Great melodrama and gothic suspense! ( )

Louisa May Alcott is mostly known for her 'Little Women' novel, but not for her short novellas. These will please literary fans and feminists, academics and students of English alike. Highly recommended. ( )

These Louisa May Alcott original thrillers might just be the sort of writing she hints at in Little Women, but, while not great literature, they're not bad reading. Alcott's writing is excellent, and even though these stories weren't my sort of thing, I very much enjoyed reading them (with the exception of "Polly's Passion and Punishment" and "The Abbot's Ghost"). They were as much about the psychology of the people involved as the events of the stories. ( )

Some of the stories here are more engaging than others, but they're all well-written and interesting. As different from the Alcott writing you're familiar with as possible, and a worthwhile read regardless. ( )

I love Alcott's thrillers; my only problem with this book is that I've seen a larger anthology at the UAB library, and I wish this book had more stories included. ( )

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0688151329, Paperback)

Six years before she wrote Little Women, Louisa May Alcott, in financial straits, entered "Pauline's Passion and Punishment," a novelette, in a newspaper contest. Not only did it win the $100 prize, but, published anonymously, it marked the first in the series of "blood & thunder tales" that would be her livelihood for years.

In Behind a Mask, editor Madeleine Stern introduces four Alcott thrillers: "Pauline's Passion and Punishment," "The Mysterious Key," "The Abbot's Ghost," and the title story, "Behind a Mask." First published in one volume in 1975, they are regarded as Alcott's finest work in this genre.
