Celia Fremlin’s seven suspense novels have all been most enthusiastically received.  Many of the stories describe the sort of situation she writes about so brilliantly in her novels, the terror being partly of the mind, and the horror having overtones of the supernatural.  Almost all the stories concern women and reflect the doom-filled atmosphere she is so successful in creating.  And somehow none of these stories work out in the way one expects – in every case the denouement shows Miss Fremlin’s deep insight into human character.
