It had some great suspense and mystery. Though the end did not deliver and it was very anti-climatic

Not bad, I've been perusing Gutenberg's mystery fiction offerings and thought this one looked interesting. A very pulp fiction vibe, I enjoyed the occult themes even though parts of it felt very much like they were lifted from Bram Stoker's Dracula. The ending was a bit anticlimactic, seems odd to have such an important series of events just glossed over so quickly, but I still enjoyed it.

Suspenseful over the top tale. Reminds me of the old black and white 'B' movies on TV late at night. Loved it! The narration sold the entire experience.

Fairly interesting story. Not nearly up to horror standards of today, but it had its moments. Due to this being written in London in the early 1900s, the language can be difficult to follow at times.
I would have given this 3 stars, but the ending was like a Steven King ending - no idea how it should really end so just do something stupid.
