Sometimes it's the people. Sometimes it's the structure. Sometimes it's the land itself. But once a deep evil settles in, it can transcend time and space. Three powerful voices in women's horror share this tale of woe. Together, their stories weave a dark tapestry about a pervasive malevolence luring generation after generation of hapless, innocent victims into the demon's snare.
"They Belong to Her"... A newly renovated ballet studio at Heathermeade is beset by an ominous presence intent upon claiming a young dancer as its own. Although Anya's family is increasingly aware of the mounting threat, the distraction of a famed ballet troupe's arrival incites deadly jealousy from beyond the veil.
"Longing to Belong"...Lily is an exceptional dancer, but she feels like an outcast at dance school. Her secondhand ballet shoes draw the attention of jealous classmates who mock Lily mercilessly. When Lily hears the story of the vengeful spirit Margaret Lee, she decides to call on the ghost for help…but summoning such a spirit isn't always wise.
"We Always Belonged Here"... A day in the country seems harmless enough when Nana Hazel invites Essie to tag along. Only, the troubled teen didn't think to ask enough questions about the crumbling old Mallory House. Murder, mayhem, something wickedly evil—Essie finds it all there, where the catkins grow.
