Sleep No More: Six Murderous Tales de P. D. James
Darkly delightful! Even though a couple of the stories are set at Christmas, they are spooky enough for Halloween in their cold-bloodedness. No whodunit mystery hear, just bare faced recounting of 6 different murders from the characters' pasts. Brilliantly written as only PD James could. Perfect reads for her fans, short-story readers, and macabre lovers.
