Horror desk
This anthology occupies a niche space for enthusiasts of late-19th-century Gothic tales. Consequently, the book must be judged by its reputation within the ghost story tradition rather than explicit content details. It does NOT suit readers seeking detailed synopses, modern prose styles, or extensive critical apparatus. Those expecting a comprehensive overview of Peattie's work may find the presentation underwhelming, though the inclusion of rare titles like 'The House that was not' retains interest for purists of Victorian fantastic literature.
