De fleste af historierne var gode, men den var lidt langsom at komme igennem.

Some amazing stories, some disappointing ones, and some stories that do not contain a ghost and do not pertain to the horror genre - at least not one that I would define.
I overall enjoyed the read, even though the second half was way better than the first. I'll probably re-read some of them.

2 van de 8 verhalen gingen tot nu toe over geesten de rest weet ik niet. Ik stop en ga af en toe maar een verhaaltje lezen wanneer ik zin heb

Let's be clear: I have found the majority of these stories rather dull, being slow and just cliché. However, there were 4 great tales, so if you are looking for a story that might actually spook you, I would recommend these.
My favorite was "The Canterville ghost" which is the best dark, comical and absurd ghost story I have ever read. Thus the 5 stars (would give it 6, even). The other enjoyable tales were:
-The tell-tale heart
-Markheim
-Laura (not very scary, but actually quite entertaining story).

Decent collection, not so focussed on horror/scary ghosts and included a fair few comedy pieces. Though not the slightest idea what the Story of Mary Ancel is doing in here, not a ghost in sight. I enjoyed the Wilkie Collins story and Markheim most.

Er zaten een paar fijntjes tussen, maar er waren ook veel heel saaie bij. Het heeft me wel weer geholpen om makkelijker Victoriaans Engels te kunnen lezen, wat dan weer hielp om andere klassiekers nog beter te begrijpen.
