1. The Changing Dust BY JAMES BENNETT
About a man whose job is to photograph the dead person so that the bereaved family can have memory of the deceased. It all goes wrong when he takes a job for the dead seance medium. Scary, and the Victorian English language makes it more chilling. 5 ⭐
2. Thirty-Two Tumbling Teeth BY NEIL WILLIAMSON
So did the father kill the daughter? Either way, the narration and the father's inner thoughts are great. 4.5 ⭐
3. The Rituals of Bathing BY LIBBY CUDMORE
So, virgin's blood for anti aging treatment? We go that route now, ain't we? 4 ⭐
4. Into the River BY CLARA MADRIGANO
Love the setting, Sao Paulo, and the native American horror, although the real "ghost" is not the Xokleng tribe. 4 ⭐
