Tales from the Dead of Night: Thirteen Classic Ghost Stories by
2.0
Look, I really wanted to like this book. I really did! I read a lot of horror in my youth and thought it would be neat to revisit the gothic horror tradition. And NOT just go back to reading Edgar Allan Poe or Bram Stoker, but pick up other short stories by other authors!
Sadly, none of these stories stuck by me. I didn't find them creepy, they were over too quickly and I felt that most of them lacked atmosphere. Perhaps that is my own fault, I usually read novels and not short stories.
Still, I will defend this collection a little: It does what it says on the tin: Thirteen classic ghost stories!
