Trade Review
Review from previous edition the perfect book to put beside the bed of a timorous guest you wish would go home * The Economist *
a sumptuous spread of eeriness, horror and decay, plus an astute introduction that lays bare the gothic's vitals...there will be something in this book to chill the blood of any reader. * John Carey, Sunday Times *
Armed with this anthology...the faint-hearted connoisseur can make his way down the gloomy halls and secret passageways of the genre. * Peter Ackroyd, The Times *
this is a generous selection from the eighteenth century up to the present day ... Deliciously unsettling. * The Observer *
