Reviews

[Joseph VanBuren · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great Megapack. You really can't go wrong with these anthologies. You won't love every story, but they pack so much into one book that it's worth reading to find the gems you've yet to discover! I love the old-timey Victorian tales from authors I've never even heard of. Most of the stories in this book were fun, a couple were boring, but a few were excellent!
