Antique Dust: Ghost Stories by Robert Westall
5.0
Antique Dust is a pitch-perfect collection of ghost stories by Robert Westall. I don't know if I've ever given a collection 5 stars before, usually because there's at least one clunker. Not so with this set, and the stories being united by the presence of the same antique dealer really made the stories feel like part of a whole.
Each story managed to be a classic example of its type, while maintaining suspense, elements of surprise, and incredibly spooky moments. The writing was crystal clear and unobtrusive, and R.C. Bray's narration was exceptional once again.
I highly recommend Antique Dust to anyone even remotely interested in a collection of ghost stories, especially to those looking for Victorian, Gothic, or British stylings in their horror.
