riskee's review against another edition
3.0
Of the 12 stories I absolutely loved 6 (Wilde;James;Kipling;both by Conan Doyle;Croker), was intrigued by 4 (Lee;Allen;Machen;The Spectral Hand by Lorrain), disliked 1(Magic Lantern by Lorrain), and hated the last one by M.P. Shiel. Not bad for an entire collection with different authors I think but I had expected more from it.

So it's difficult to recommend this one or not. It has some great stories (Lot 249 was too scary for me, I couldn't even finish it!) but there were some really, really bad ones too (Such as the Great God Pan). If you want to get into Gothic fiction and don't know where to start; this is a great way to see what authors you enjoy reading!
