About this audiobook
Before Little Women, Louisa May Alcott wrote what she called her “blood and thunder tales” — dark, pulpy thrillers penned under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard. These lurid tales of forbidden love, manipulation, and murder were lost for nearly a century before being rediscovered in 1942. This collection of Alcott's forgotten stories gives a rare glimpse into the darker side of 19th century women.
