Sinopsis

In âÇÖFaunâÇÖ by N.J. Carré, a woman living alone in a neighbourhood plagued by antisocial behaviour has a strange synergy with a creature she encounters in the woodlands by her house. Terrified, she begins to think the faun is sent to protect her somehow...âÇÖA Grave for a Dead HorseâÇÖ by J.P. Relph, the allure of a swinging rope hung above a deep pit is tempting for a group of early teens with nothing much else to do. But the game goes horribly wrong for one member of the party. Another macabre childrenâÇÖs game (they often are, arenâÇÖt they?) leads these sadistic revellers to discover something far worse: Cheryl, the quiet friend, (because thereâÇÖs always one) is perhaps a little too quiet and a little too willing in this very creepy tale, âÇÖStacking CoffinsâÇÖ by Josh Hanson. Ava DeVriesâÇÖ story, âÇÖOnly CarrionâÇÖ, is a dark and brooding exploration of death and mortality. A woman receives visitations from birds after her miscarriage, and then, every time there is a death, a âÇÖwakeâÇÖ of vultures begin to close in...áIn âÇÖTear-SippersâÇÖ by Vonnie Winslow Crist, professor Floella Greer, an ambitious academic and expert in lepidoptera - in particular the variety of Tear-Sipping moths. Determined to forge ahead with her research plans despite the interventions of the misogynistic Professor Bogdan, she does something rather unethical to get her way...áWeâÇÖve allácoveted, cherished something belonging to a beloved relation. But what if it was really a part of them? In this eerie tale, a young woman inherits much more than a simple object, in Isobel LeachâÇÖs âÇÖMy GrandmotherâÇÖs Glass EyeâÇÖ. It is summertime in a seaside town, the light shimmers and Billy loves Laurel. Everything is almost perfect, almost. But laurel has a strange and occasional habit of disappearing - just not in the way you might think in Fiona CameronâÇÖs story, âÇÖFreaksâÇÖ. On a miserable corner of the coastline, two old friends, Daniel and Bramble, meet to chat on a dilapidated bench overlooking the sea. But Bramble has the sensation he is being watched (pursued?) by a figure in a yellow raincoat, a figure sent to remind him of something heâÇÖd rather forget in Tom PrestonâÇÖs tale, âÇÖBrambleâÇÖ. In Timothy FoxâÇÖs folk horror, âÇÖListening WoodâÇÖ, a young boy, raised by his father, haunted by the legend of his mother, keeps returning to the woods where she was found.á
