Summary: Excellent introduction to the literary ghost story genre
Comment: More people should know about literary ghost stories, which I like to describe as "wonder tales from the shadow side." They tend not to be tales of graphic horror. True, if the term "gothic" suggests terror and violence to the reader, that reader might be disappointed. But stories like the ones in GOTHIC GHOSTS take the reader away, and have enduring power.

Rating: 1
Summary: For Shame...
Comment: This is a compilation of short gothic (in this case, read: dull & simplistic) ghost stories. Practically all of them set up a weak plot that is never followed through. Invariably, all of them are presented with a weak and sometimes absurd premise, to then be cut short 5 pages later with no closure whatsoever. Don't expect thrills, or much less chills from this book. There is one sweet story, Dust Motes, but for 10 pages, keep your money in your pocket.
