Not only did it win the $100 prize, but, published anonymously, it marked the first of the series of \"blood \u0026amp; thunder tales\" that would provide her livelihood for years. For as she said, \"They are easy to 'compoze' \u0026amp; are better paid than moral...works.\" The gruesome, passionate stories reveal a darker side of Alcott. Published anonymously or under the pseudonym of A. M. Barnard, they appeared in weeklies over a century ago. In their mastery of suspense and psychological drama, and in their embodiment of a startlingly intense - if oblique - feminism, they attest to the multifaceted genius of their creator. \"Pauline's Passion and Punishment\" features a woman who is scorned by her lover and left with her fury and her desire for revenge. The male hero of \"The Mysterious Key\" must unearth secrets hidden away in a family tomb if he is to realize true love. Mysterious pasts and all-too-present jealousies conflict for some surprising effects on the holiday mood in \"The Abbot's Ghost.\" And \"Behind a Mask\" tells the chilling story of a woman thwarted by love, whose main motivation becomes her desire to dominate an entire family.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"William Morrow Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Behind a Mask | Louisa May Alcott | Paperback | 9780688151324 | New | Fiction 1643810","offer_id":67713971585176,"sku":"1643810","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71cY6llnAfL_519f44e1-e14d-4de1-a766-f9321a977f4d.jpg?v=1792013550","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/behind-a-mask-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
