Selected from the works of American, British, and French writers, 21 rare and seldom-anthologized stories include "A Bottomless Grave" by Ambrose Bierce, "The Ship that Saw a Ghost" by Frank Norris, Guy de Maupassant's "The Tomb," Richard Marsh's "The Haunted Chair," and other hard-to-find gems of the genre.… (altro)
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. ( )
This unique collection gathers together 21 of these Victorian-era spine-tinglers, but unlike most anthologies, which feature the same tired tales, this volume contains 21 outstanding, but neglected stories from that time period. For fans of ghost stories and tales of terror, these are some of the best and introduces many authors that (unfortunately) history has neglected. ( )

The anthology Victorian Nightmares, published by W. H. Allen in the UK in 1977 (Coronet paperback, 1980), and by Taplinger in the US also in 1977, is exactly the same book as the Dover reprint entitled A Bottomless Grave and other Victorian Tales of Terror -- same complete contents in the same order, same editor's foreword, even the same dedication. Only the title has changed.
Selected from the works of American, British, and French writers, 21 rare and seldom-anthologized stories include "A Bottomless Grave" by Ambrose Bierce, "The Ship that Saw a Ghost" by Frank Norris, Guy de Maupassant's "The Tomb," Richard Marsh's "The Haunted Chair," and other hard-to-find gems of the genre.
