derekdavis31's review against another edition
5.0
I've got to say that this was probably one of the absolute best Halloween reads this year! I heard the story first, in a horror short story collection, then decided to hunt for my own physical copy of the story. The images are haunting, and the story is equally haunting. This deserves to be read every Spooktober!
thewildeausten's review against another edition
It's not for the light-hearted, first of all.
After you get over the sheer brutality that is given by Dickens in the story, you finally understand the want of justice and revenge. The description, the action and the story move so quickly that it makes you wonder for a moment.
Dickens made sure that even the readers feel they want to pierce and kill 'the protagonist' in a mere one and half page story. Also, calling Captain Murderer a protagonist is also quite debatable.
All in all, it is a five-minute read, but will stay with for a long, long time.
