lakserk's review
4.0
Another solid collection by Peter Bell, dealing, as is evident by the title (and also from the author's forward), with hauntings. Half of the stories stood out for me, namely:
- The Bothy (in which we visit a snowy Scotland wilderness, which locale Bell evokes so vividly)
- Reunion (a decadent and highly weird story set in rural Germany. The book's scariest)
- Ragnarok (the imagery here is Lovecraftian and extremely effective)
- The Swing (nice little story about a haunted photograph)
- The Protrait (I'm sure I've reread this story about the portrait of a lady in a mansion turned museum. Nice anti-commercial spirit)
- The Crucifix (Probably the best of the bunch, novella-length, will more than satisfy book collectors)
