Description
In this stunning new collection of four horror stories, award-winning author Rachel Harrison explores themes of body image, female friendship, heartbreak and hauntings with her trademark humour and insight.
In Reply Hazy, Try Again, an indecisive young woman finds a mysterious Magic 8 Ball that might just have the answers she's been looking for...or might lead her down a path of self-destruction.
In Bachelorette, a bridesmaid attends her childhood best friend's bachelorette weekend only to discover the itinerary may demand more than she's willing to sacrifice.
In Goblin, an unusually brutal dieting app wreaks havoc on the life of a timid, insecure woman preparing to attend her ex's wedding.
In Bad Dolls, after the death of her younger sister, a wayward young woman comes into possession of a strange porcelain doll that could offer a connection to her lost sister, but could also just be pure evil.
These dark tales navigate the complications of modern life with humour, insight and the odd blood sacrifice...
