Author: Marie O'Regan

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
25 chilling short stories by outstanding female writers. Women have always written exceptional stories of horror and the supernatural.

If anything, this showcase anthology proves that sometimes the female of the species can also be the most terrifying . . .
