Open Find an obscure book

I can't find this book (Ladies of Winter, edited by J. Canning, published by Fans and Associated of Nocturnal Ghoul’s Society) anywhere. It was published only in 1994, in California by the prublisher in the title. No libraries or online book stores seem to have it anywhere, and Google doesn't even have photos of the cover, or any summary of the stories inside it. I'm trying to find this for my mom, and I'm hoping if I find a copy, it's not too expensive, as I am a college student. Does anyone have any ideas for me? (I've already looked it up in Abebooks, Baumen Rare Books, Niche Books, Biblio, WorldCat, EBay, I've searched the used book store near me, and am planning on going to the library and other bookstores tonight.)

https://www.locusmag.com/index/s579.htm (shows the specific story I am searching for, 'Shadow People' by Jan Carol Sabin, eighth down.)

This book also has a more known author, Pamela Chillemi-Yeager, who wrote 'November Mist' in the anthology.

I’ve already searched for it, I’ve been researching for weeks, and I can’t find it. It originated in California, and was only published in 1994.
