Praise
“Best known for her unusual children’s stories, this delightful writer launched her career with tales that set you shivering. This current selection offers thrills as modern as a horror film but with a lot more dignity, brains and stylish timing.“
David Hughes

“Great small collection here. I’ve only ever read Nesbit’s short stories in mixed horror anthologies, so it was nice to delve into these half-dozen or so pieces and appreciate them side-by-side. My favourites were ‘In the Dark’ and ‘The Shadow’, which I just got to last night (Christmas night). In fact, ‘The Shadow’ gave me some genuine chills. Highly recommended if you’re fond of an oldie-worldie yarn.“
