Some of the stories were very creepy, one or two actually chilling. Overall a nice little collection everyone should own. For the price you can't go wrong

I have seen creepier looking covers but its still nice

The Ash Tree by M.R. James

Book Review
I caught a BBC version of this with Christopher Lee doing it, I suppose 'nuff said. I loved it.
Even aside from the obvious it was a great little tale, it conjured up images that got into my dreams.

I really liked this little one and again for the price you can not go wrong, even if there is something in it you might not love to pieces.

I adore this cover and bought this edition simply because of the cover, there were cheaper ones, but I had to have this one. Yes you see 10 diamonds there. :)
Blessing Of Luna Wolf Gods #1
Blaise Ramsay
Book Review
I liked this one, but to be completely honest I am more of a Vampire lover. I would highly recommend this one to any lover of Werewolves or for those who are maybe fence sitters as to where to place their loyalties. Lots of action, lots of lovemaking. If I loved Werewolves more than I do, I would have been in ecstasy over this one. I will still give this one a 5 star even though it was not my cup of tea, it is still a very great book

I thought at first it was going to be just another Twilight, honestly it kept that pace for a bit but then something changed and it turned out to be a really good story

Of Lords and Commoners (Lords and Commoners #1)
Lynne Hill-Clark
Book Review
I am not sure how I would really classify this one. Not really Vampire but is, not really historical but is. Lavish very much, likeable characters yes. I love this one and would highly recommend it.

This is not quite what I was looking for but that is just me, I would highly recommend this for any nautical horror shelf. A nice collection. I was just looking for something more 1800's.

If you are going to have a few days of bad weather and you are wanting a seriously atmospheric Vampire horror story then you won't be disappointed to have this in your pile to read. This should be in everyone's collection sitting right where it should be on one side or the other of Dracula.

This one is hard to put down once you start it, it takes you in right off. The vivid descriptions were like you were really there, not many can achieve that...............I mean close your eyes and you are there. An excellent way to spend some good vampire time

I really are this cover, to me its right next to my copies of Dracula and Poe........I got those particular versions because of the covers.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Book Review
Wow, I thought Erik {Phantom Of The Opera} had the corner market on self loathing and unspeakable depths of despair. Victor and his "Creation" sink you down to the depths with them. Its perfectly depressing and not really something lighthearted to read at all. Its not the gore fest you see in Hollywood, its not scary at all. Overall though its perfect classic horror literature, the kind that requires you to think and use your own imagination, a must for any fan of the genre. Hollywood you have lied to me.......................again.
Cover Review
I picked this up to read the story and not for the cover because I really don't like the version I have, so now I have read it and love it, I am off in search of a better cover
Book Review
This is a fun modern collection of shorts, just a few but they are fun. Perhaps just a bit too descriptive for my taste in horror but if your OK with that then this is a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon, which I did. Not overly gory or anything, there is though adult language in it.

The cover reminds me of many times I have seen this design in older horror flicks
Victor Hugo
Book Review
Very descriptive, I thought it was a bit boring in the beginning but it really picked up in the middle. Of the classics this was up there with the best. A must read for anyone who love classic descriptive literature. I cried at the end.

I adore the cover

Book Review
This one should sit up high on the horror shelf.
If you like the "good old ones" then this if for you. Written in the style of Shelley and Stoker, this is refreshing to see this style of writing in this day and age.
Highly recommended.
Cover Review
This is a great cover.

This is Sleepy Hollow for adults, it has a few twists and turns in it, I was flabbergasted at the end and left wondering if there is to be a sequel?
Definitely a read for Halloween with some good candles or a fireplace on
Very highly recommended to sit right next to Sleepy Hollow and other Autumn reads.
Cover Review
This is an awesome cover, you really have to look at the details in it.

Book Review
This is fun.
A jolly romp through England and America at the turn of the century. Not too gruesome, witty and page turning.
The typos don't interfere with the well thought out story. If you love the 1800's this is one for you - all the characters we love are here.
