'A book of intimate fears, which proves indisputably that horror fiction is not a male preserve. Long overdue, this is instantly an essential volume.' Clive Barker
From Cherry Wilder's bloody tale of a returned soldier driven mad by killing, to Ann Walsh's countryside idyll that goes wrong; from Lisa Tuttle's own sinister story set in the world of séances and mediums, to the contemporary setting of Suzy McKee Charnas' tale of girl turned wolf; these seventeen stories offer an irresistible feast of what is terrifying and forbidden.
These are stories that seem to come equally from the everyday world and from the hidden side of our natures. By uncovering what is repressed and giving it form, the authors break through the representation of normal human relationships to reveal the abysses of the soul that lie beneath.
Contributors: Joan Aiken, Suzy McKee Charnas, Sherry Coldsmith, Pauline E Dungate, Karen Joy Fowled Anne Goring,...
