Women in Trouble Kindle Edition
The woman's role in horror fiction has ranged from final girl to femme fatale, but what really makes her tick?
In this collection, R. Saint Claire explores the psychological underpinnings that cause the girl next door or suburban mom to wander irretrievably to the dark side.
Foreword by Lydia Peever: Trouble transcends the traditionally feminine here—be it physical, psychological, or perceived—and brings us to a more modern stage but with roots in timeless sensibility. This is the signature of Saint Claire.

I’ve previously read and enjoyed short stories by R. Saint Claire in the HorrorTube anthologies Local Haunts, Served Cold, and We’re Not Home. I’ve also read her novella Unmasked. Because I was familiar with her work, I knew a couple of the stories in this collection. I like the repeated themes in her works, which includes not only women in trouble, but also self-obsessed characters, and family drama that turns into horror or tragedy.
I like how her stories often come across as inspired by classic films and classic horror stories. I could feel shades of Sunset Boulevard and vibes from scary short stories I’ve read in the past; I would name some more specific stories, but I don’t want to give away spoilers since mentioning them might give away some of the twists and surprises in these tales.
My favorite story in the collection was a horrific tale of an arrogant character obsessed with a failed relationship who initially accidentally kidnaps someone, only to decide to purposely continue with the atrocious act. The ending of the story, as with many of the others in the collection, really hit hard.
I highly recommend this story collection for fans of horror, especially for people looking for female protagonists.
