This was a tough and slow read. Not sure why it didn't quite click for me, but I was relieved to finish it. The stories are interesting and droning in the way that gothic literature often does, and I wonder if I bounced off of this because of the translation? If you like classical gothic literature, you'll love the prose in this.
