Katie’s always been proud of her mane of chestnut hair that’s so long she can sit on it. But when Great Aunt Lydia comes to stay, the old woman’s visit seems to coincide with something going badly wrong with Katie’s once-glorious locks.

What is the strange tapestry that Great Aunt Lydia is working on? And once the old woman’s covetous gaze moves on from Katie’s hair, what will it come to rest on next..?

Snip, Snip is the second sinister short story in the Chilling Childlore collection, written by award-winning author Victoria Williamson and available to purchase as an anthology.
