A new review over at This is Horror by Ross Warren of The Spectral Book of Horror Stories (Mark Morris, ed.). In a fit of self-centredness, I shall tell you only what is said about my story, but all the other excellent tales are discussed here.
‘The October Widow’ by Angela Slatter maintains the high standard with a richly detailed tale in which the mysterious Mirabel Morgan, the October Widow of the title, moves in to town and begins to assert quite a pull on certain young men of the area. On her trail is a grieving father left with questions to be answered by the woman he holds responsible but also desires. A story all the better for not providing any conclusive answers.
