Old Mr Barker was a curmudgeon who underfed his dogs to make them vicious and kept his low-paid staff loyal with promises of legacies that never materialised. Following his death, his home is sold at auction for an absurdly cheap price to Peggy and Percy Dacre. But when the young couple move into their new home with their four children, Peggy soon discovers that The Beeches—commonly referred to as ‘Hell Corner’ by the locals—is already occupied. This new edition of The Uncanny House, the first since its original publication in 1927, includes a twenty-page biographical essay by Gina R. Collia: ‘Mary L. Pendered: Author, Suffragist, Pacifist, and Thoroughly Good Woman’.
 
'Mary L. Pendered, who scored with "Corisande," gets the creepy atmosphere of a house in which strange things happen... the dramatic situations are well handled and the eerie feeling maintained.' Dundee Courier, November 1927.
 
'Those who like to indulge their eerie fancies and give their imagination a little exercise will enjoy participating in the weird experiences that befell Mr. and Mrs. Dacre and their children after they went to live at "The Beeches" or "Hell Corner," as it was locally called.' The Bookman, January 1928.
