A review by jayrothermel
Colonial Horrors: Sleepy Hollow and Beyond by Graeme Davis

3.0

An uneven collection. It collects "true" anecdotes and folklore, alternating with short stories and novel excerpts. The high points are several Washington Irving tales collected as "The Money Diggers," and the great colonial section of Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. North America was settled in a series of horrible social advances by the bourgeoisie; the editor lets this go unmentioned.
