Terror Scribes is a satisfyingly diverse anthology, furnished with
nebulous, original tales guaranteed to set your teeth on edge and
give you bouts of gooseflesh. From the home-grown talent of Sue
Phillips to prolific US gore-hound Deb Hoag, from the satirists to
the psychopaths to the traditionalists, from demonic possession of
celebrities to masturbating werewolves, from hair-raising
fairytales to disturbing accounts of everyday terror, you will
shiver and gasp and question. We are not oblivious to the fear
Terror Scribes will evoke. Quite the contrary, we're advocates of
it . . .

A brand-new anthology of crime stories written by masters of the genre, including Jeffery Deaver, Val McDermid and Lee Child.
Featuring both original in-universe stories and rarely-seen reprints, this collection of masterful short stories brings together some of the genre's greatest living authors.
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 . . .
