The One That Got Away: Women of Horror, Volume 3 by Jill Girardi

4.0

February is Women in Horror Month and what better way to celebrate than to read a complete anthology uniquely written by 30 different women from all around the world. Each story centers around the theme of 'The One That Got Away'. There are elements of horror, post-apocalyptic, science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, and tales of love and revenge.
