Three female-led tales of occult possession, vampiric bondage, and Victorian horror, open with Sandrine Bessancort's homage to Algernon Blackwood, "Ancient Sorceries Revisited" and the tale of one lone Englishman's encounter with an irresistible fate in a sleepy French village he finds himself compelled to visit.

This is followed by Amanta Ruxandra's "Blood Slave", her short tale of an English writer on a visit to Carpathia to research the female vampire... A writer who, unfortunately for him, encounters one in the flesh!

The third and final offering in the anthology is Sandrine D'Honfleur's tribute to Robert Louis Stevenson, "The Shaming of Purbeck", in which a curious Victorian scientist's quest to eradicate evil via chemistry has entirely the opposite effect when he experiments on his unknowing housekeeper, Rebecca... And unleashes a female horror!

Three believable and female-led misadventures in the worlds of horror, possession, and the occult.
