Oxford University history graduate **Dorothy Kathleen Broster** used her academic knowledge to good effect in the creation of a series of historical novels which gained a considerable reputation for their accurate evocation of past times. Particularly highly regarded were a series of tales set in Scotland at the time of the Jacobite Rebellion. The convincing authenticity of her writing is the result of painstaking research, a skill developed during the author's time at university and which served her well throughout her literary career. Broster's supernatural tales are interesting and well-executed works of some originality. As might be expected, the author created convincing historical settings for her ghostly fiction but also gave meticulous attention to that essential feature of all effective ghost stories - atmosphere. -- from *Shadows in the Attic: A Guide to British Supernatural Fiction 1820-1950*, Neil Wilson (2000).
