rissasreading's review
4.0
I enjoyed this collection of short stories! They were all short with the longest being The Turn Of The Screw, as well as, The Damned. I think these were interesting to read as it shows where horror began, and you can definitely see where many of our favorite authors got inspiration from! It's also interesting to see what horror stories consisted of back in the day. I noticed a lot of it had the narrator either telling a story that happened to someone else, or it being from pieces of paper or journal entries found by someone years after the events unfolded. There were lots of haunted houses, and ghosts which I thoroughly enjoyed considering I read this throughout October. Highly recommend for anyone interested in classic literature, especially horror.
taleofabibliophile's review against another edition
I didn't feel like I was up for reading these kind of stories. Particularly as I don't tend to enjoy many classics.
