Some bangers (exquisite corpse) but many of the short stories were too vague to have a major impact on me

Absolutely chilling haunting stories, from the almost silly and fantastical to gore and fear. split into three parts, The House, The Child and The Past, these short stories tap into the fears women have and the fears you didn't know to be afraid of.
