The Mammoth Book of Ghost Stories by Women
Author: Marie O'Regan
Publisher: Robinson
ISBN: 1780330251
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 370
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 . . .
