Women's Weird 2 contains thirteen remarkably chilling stories originally published from 1891 to 1937, by women authors from the USA, Canada, the UK, India and Australia. Featured stories will include:

  • Lettice Galbraith's 'The Blue Room' (1897)

  • Katherine Mansfield's 'The House' (1912)
  • Bithia Mary Croker's 'The Red Bungalow' (1919)
