I think that’s one of my favourite story titles ever! I wrote this story for the charity e-anthology ‘Voices from the Past’, now available from H&H Books. Researching it and writing it creeped me out. It’s one of those stories where I gathered snippets from all over, the last a small detail from my favourite magazine, Harper’s Weekly.
The table of contents is stunning, and all money goes to the charity the Great Ormond Street Hospital.
