3 relatos muy cortos victorianos cercanos al cuento tradicional con moraleja, pero con un toque bastante oscuro.
Mi preferido creo que es 'Wooden Tony', pero 'La nueva madre' resulta muy original (y me encanta ver de donde salió en cierta manera 'Coraline' de Gaiman :D)

The story that inspired Coraline. I can see where the origin of scary stories for children came from trying to scare them into obedience

I absolutely enjoy reading tales like this one. This is a short and eerie story which are the ones that are always fun to read.

only read the new mother but i had to log it because i can finally articulate why it frightened me so much as a child: it was the fear of abandonment. i was always so scared of losing my mother.
