Terror By Gaslight di Lamb
I read this book in the 1990s and loved it. I still remember it and it is now 2022. Classic horror stories to chill and thrill. I really need to find a copy and buy it.

A Bottomless Grave: and Other Victorian Tales of… di Ambrose Bierce
Sometimes it's a bit difficult to get through Victorian writing.

A Bottomless Grave: and Other Victorian Tales of… di Ambrose Bierce
This collection of Victorian horror short stories is more fun than scary. I felt that I should have been sitting in front of a roaring fire with a snifter of good brandy while reading aloud. Ambrose Bierce's title story made me laugh out loud. The others were all good in their own fashion. Some were a bit more difficult to read than others but all were satisfying.

Terror by Gaslight: More Victorian Tales of Terror di Hugh Lamb
Fantastic anthology here, folks! Both this book and its predecessor, Terror by Gaslight, are treasure troves of creepy, scary stories from the minds of the Victorians. Each is brimming over with works by masters such as H. Rider Haggard, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Mrs J.H. Riddell, M.R.James, E.F.Benson, and so many more.

Both books were originally published in England in the mid-1970s. I read both decades ago, sometime in the 1990s, and the happy, chilling memory of them has stayed with me all these years.

These masters defined the horror genre for many decades, and from them comes our modern tradition of horror. We horror fiends are descended from these stories, even if a modern horror fan doesn't like this type of classic horror.

If you like elegant, supernatural horror that sends a frisson of fear down your spine, these books will do it, without a chainsaw or ax in sight.… (altro)
