| Book description |
The dark side of life lurks just around the corner from the safe avenues of the familiar. In this book, twenty-five leading female writers dare to stray from the path of the ordinary and venture into the shadows. In subtle and sophisticated stories, these authors find moods of menace and tremors of dread in the most unlikely settings: the home, the office, the neighborhood, the bedroom. Unsettling encounters sure to stir the soul await the reader of these uncommon literary masterpieces. | |
