A review by maree_k
The Mammoth Book of Ghost Stories by Women by Marie O'Regan

5.0

A bit of hit and miss collection with some good stories and others that failed to impress. My favourite was Edith Wharton's 1910 story, Afterward. Chilling and creepy, it was the story that really lingered. Others that resonated with me include God Grant that she Lie Still, The Ninth Witch and Sister, Shhh. I really enjoyed the inclusion of he older stories. Although their old fashioned style made them a little difficult to read, it was great to see the roots of ghost story writing and how writers of the past influence what is being written now. Definitely worthwhile if you're interested in ghost stories and horror writing.
