An intriguing and at times spine chilling and gory collection of horror stories from women writers of the Asian diaspora featuring tales of monsters and ghosts, of women’s fury and rage, of grief and revenge. My stand out favourites were Phoenix Claws by Lee Murray, Little Worm by Geneve Flynn,  Of Hunger and Fuey by Grace Chan, The Ninth Tale by Rena Mason and Skin Dowdy by Angela Yuriko Smith. A fantastic, nightmarish collection for all horror lovers who enjoy stories that make you look at shadows twice.
