Read: 26 February, 2010I've always loved horror stories, and I fell in love with Elizabeth Gaskell in University. So when I saw that Penguin had a collection of Gaskell's Gothic short stories, I knew I had to buy it immediately.
And it did not disappoint!
Gothic Tales is a collection of stories ranging from "wonder stories" to horror. While not of the same calibre as her novels, these are none-the-less the products of a master storyteller.
I'd say that this collection is definitely a 'must have' for fans of Gaskell, Victorian literature, or the Gothic genre.
