Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Rather disappointing. For a start half of the stories are not ghostly ones at all. Of the remainder only 'The Striding Place' and 'The Dead and the Countess' are ghost stories proper,and another couple could be described as psychological stories. (for want of a better description) None are of a really high standard. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The first one I liked was the The Dead and The Countess. Talking dead people always do the trick and it had a light-footedness about it which lacked in some other shorts.
I suppose Gertrude's stories are just not supernatural or horrific enough for me. I believe I prefer serious gothic horror novels over the years where blood and goo oozes from the pages.
But to be fair she does paint a good atmosphere and focusses more on the psychology and internal struggles of her characters.
And good job on the sentences. With little words she can do so much. ( )
