4.0

This author was previously unknown to me except for the title story that I enjoyed in an anthology that I read a couple of months ago. Gwendolyn Wormser should have been an important voice in horror yet was somehow largely overlooked until now. Written in the days before shock and gore was the formula, and blood and guts the norm, her stories are suspenseful and eerie. The writing is haunting and lyrical, full of atmosphere and and rich with emotion.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dark fiction from days gone by.

I received a complimentary copy.
