Maeve Brennan's novella THE VISITOR, also examines the impact of a ageing female recluse on her descendants. Although Brennan's matriarch doens't have quite the same toxic impact as Blackwood's the story is beautifully written. Unfortunately it was the only one she wrote.

I've not heard of it but will definitely track it down now. Sounds great. Thanks!
