Some great gothic, moody and atmospheric tales. More creepy than full-on scary, but that's from a modern view used to horror films (books don't tend to scare me, as a rule). Despite the age of the stories, the language feels fresh and fairly modern. My absolute favourite of the collection is 'The Three Souls' which genuinely creeped me out
