25 chilling short stories by outstanding female writers. Women have
always written exceptional stories of horror and the supernatural.
This anthology aims to showcase the very best of these, from Amelia
B. Edwards's 'The Phantom Coach', published in 1864, through past
luminaries such as Edith Wharton and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, to
modern talents including Muriel Gray, Sarah Pinborough and Lilith
Saintcrow. From tales of ghostly children to visitations by
departed loved ones, and from heart-rending stories to the
profoundly unsettling depiction of extreme malevolence, what each
of these stories has in common is the effect of a slight chilling
of the skin, a feeling of something not quite present, but
nevertheless there. If anything, this showcase anthology proves
that sometimes the female of the species can also be the most
terrifying . . .
