This is a creepy, interesting collection of Victorian ghost stories. Actually, some of them I would call horror more than ghost stories. LeFanu did some interesting things with elements now familiar to readers. I guess in his time, he was quite revolutionary. He created quite a chilling atmosphere in his stories. It appears that he liked to connect his stories, and even re-use elements. Several are set in the same village; several are case histories from a particular doctor who delves into the supernatural; and the better part of one chapter of the novella The Haunted Baronet uses a significant portion of an earlier short story, with little change in plot -- though the names are changed (to protect the innocent?). Two of the stories seem to show the same haunting from two different points of view (one, a horror story mostly about how the haunting got started; another, the experiences of later residents of the haunted house.) It didn't keep me on the edge of my seat, or cause me to lose sleep (more than I normally miss, anyway), but it was a nice, creepy read for Halloween season. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
