Kvindelige forfattere var i høj grad med til at forme gysergenren, da den voksede ud af den gotiske roman i slutningen af det 19. århundrede og for alvor tog form i starten af det 20. århundrede. Disse kvinder var ikke blot meget populære, om gyset så var deres foretrukne litterære felt eller ej, mange af dem vandt også stor anerkendelse i samtiden. De fortjener at blive husket på lige fod med de bedste mandlige forfattere inden for genren. Denne antologi er blevet til med det formål. De ni kvindelige forfattere i denne bog var alle markante kvinder, der på forskellig vis udfordrede tidens normer, kønsroller og seksualitet. Novellerne i denne samling er en buket af forskelligartede gys, og selvom et par af disse har mænd i hovedrollerne, så mærker man en anden tilgang til genren end hos de mere bombastiske mandlige gyserforfattere. Kvindernes tekster er ofte mere tvetydige, snigende og åndelige. Mange af novellerne har selvstændige og handlekraftige kvinder i hovedrollerne. Kvinder, der må klare sig selv i en barsk verden, hvor den stærke mand kun sjældent bruger sin magt til at beskytte dem.
