Mary Higgins Clark - The Anastasia Syndrome and Other Stories

The Anastasia Syndrome is a collection of short stories by Mary Higgins Clark, primarily featuring the title novella. In the novella, historian Judith Chase undergoes regression therapy to explore her past. The experiment unlocks terrifying memories tied to a woman from 17th-century London. As a wave of bombings hits the city, Judith is haunted by a sense of déjà vu, drawing her into a sinister plot where her personal life and historical research collide. The collection also includes four other suspenseful tales: "Terror Stalks the Class Reunion," about a stalker's obsession; "Double Vision," where a surviving twin is haunted by her sister's murder; "Lucky Day," a chilling story about a lottery ticket and murder; and "The Lost Angel," in which a mother searches for her kidnapped child. The book showcases Clark's signature style of creating compelling, psychological thrillers.
