This collection of short stories is just okay. Some of the stories are truly chilling, but over half of them are not. To my mind, that does not make for a good collection of Gothic tales.

Some good, solid stories in here. Some of them didn't land, but for the most part, definitely a fine read, especially if you love ghost stories.

Let me start out by saying I am a huge fan of gothic ghost tales and haunted houses. The atmosphere created by folks like Shirly Jackson, Richard Matheson and MR James has always fascinated me (almost as much as dark cosmic horrors) but it is seldom present in this collection. The stories are well crafted but the flow between them is lacking and some of the tales just do not seem to fit in the spirit (ha!) of the genre.

3.5. Numerous clunkers, but many good moody, atmospheric ghost stories — standouts are by Jessica Amanda Salmonson, Paul Collins and Rick Kennet, Brian Stableford, Penelope. D. Cacek, and James Dorr.

Decent, if not memorable, collection of ghost stories done in the gothic style.

Anthology of ghost stories, some better than others. Worth checking out overall.
