Short stories by Mary Higgins Clark. I'm not usually a big fan of short stories, but these all had Mary Higgins Clark's touch. Five stories included. The Anastasia Syndrome (of course), Terror Stalks the Class Reunion, Lucky Day, Double Vision, The Lost Angel.

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
