Anastasia Syndrome and Other Stories

I've read other books of Mary Higgins Clark before, but I've enjoyed this book of Anastasia and other short stories the most.In the main story, Anastasia, an historical writer Judith Chase, is engaged to the future prime minister, Stephen Hallet. She is working on a novel though, and is caught up in a lot of other issues along with it. The evil mind of Margaret Carew, dominates Judith, and it is a true mystery as to what is happening within her mind. You really have to read into it to know what I am referring to here, but it becomes very frightening in many places as Judith experiences strange events. The psychiatrist, Dr. Patel, puts her under hypnosis, giving her a drug that makes her regress further into her confusing past.The other stories in the book, were even scarier yet, than Anastasia. If you feel like a good thrill, read on!

The sories in this book are great reading. This is the 2nd book by Mary Higgins Clark that I have read and I loved it. Having 5 short stories in one book was great for my short attention span. If you do not have a lot of time to sit down and read a whole book at one time, this would deffinatly be a good to read. You could read one story at a time.My favortie story was the first one, The Anastasia Syndrome. A womans mind is taken over by an evil womans mind from the past. You will never guess how it ends.The other four stories were very enjoyable reads as well. Terror Stalks the Class Reunion will keep you guessing through the whole story.Lucky Day starts out as a lucky day for one man and turns out to be unlucky for him and two other people.Double Vision is a bit of a stretch for the title. You have to read it to find out why.The Lost Angel is my least favorite but an enjoyable read any way.

MAry Higgins Clark has done it again. This author just can't miss.I have never read a book of her's that has disappointed and this is no exception. It is a little different in that instead of one story-- it is four little stories. Each one with its own little twists and turns. Perfect short story reading for a commuter or a busy parent on the run!Miss Mary, keep 'em coming!

This book mixs orginal Higgins with some new plots twists and turns. Terror stalks the Class Reunion is a great story. Short sweet and to the point.Lucky Day is also a good story. THis was the first higgins book I have read in over 15 years and I loved it!! I went out and bought every new book of hers I could find!!

This book is one of my favorites! It's so soopky and eerie! I loved all the short stories.
