The Victorian Chaise-longue by Marghanita Laski
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Written in 1953 this wasn’t going to be like a modern day horror story, but it was a psychological horror. A woman falls asleep on a Victorian chaise-longue and is transported back into the body of a Victorian woman with consumption. She has to work out how to get back to the present day before the inevitable happens. I won’t give away any more details but this was a quick one-sitting read which most people would probably like.

Sounds like a Victorian version of Life on Mars!
Now you mention it, it’s exactly like that! And I think you have just helped me work out what happened at the end.
