Reviews

`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
