Review:
This is truly for the classic lover there were stories from many of the greats from Arthur Conan Doyle to Rudyard Kipling there is a classic horror story here that is sure to become someone's favorite.
It wasn't exactly blood curdling but I did enjoying reading some of these classic horror stories. One thing about the classics, the authors were very wordy and sometimes long winded but strangely that sort of adds to the charm of them. One minute the story is going on some tangent then the next thing you know boom the creepy stuff starts.
I thought some stories may have started out a little slow but they were still pretty good. Most of the horror stories fit into either the psychological or scientific with some fantasy ones sprinkled in.
So if the macabre and the gothic appeal to you, then I would recommend this book to you.
