Seven stories by Elizabeth Greyrose. Drawn from the shadow side of the ages of womanhood, this horror anthology explores the places where choices, whether they bring pleasure or terror, cannot be untangled. In Ancient Rome, a girl and her beloved fall forgotten on a battlefield, yet their love lives on. While thrifting in a retro shop, a young woman finds a haunted dress. A woman answers an ad for a free dining room table - and comes home with a mirror that needs to feed. A vampire navigating the quiet of her undead existence is ambushed by her own body - a panic attack with no name, no face, no reason she can see. Until she hunts one down. A lonely ghost reaches across the veil, tender and desperate, for one last connection. A woman discovers that a life fully loved does not let go easily - its ghosts rising to stand between her and what comes next. And at the last, an old woman who has outlived everyone she has ever loved opens the door to Death - and finds him a sweeter arrival than she feared. These are the phases of a woman's life: being chosen, being wronged, longing, haunting, and finally - release. Sensual, savage, and deeply felt. FOR ADULT READERS 18+ only.
