   Hi, there! I’ve just happened across a collection of what is described as “10 Supernatural Short Stories” titled “The Visitors Book” by Sophie Hannah that’s not listed above. I found it in my local Metropolitan Library’s Digital Catalog. It says that it was first made available November 1, 2016. Happy Reading All!
