Misery, fear, despair, regret and dread are highlighted in the following pages, stirring old ghosts, witches, and awakening death.

Gothic Blue Book: The Revenge Edition Reviews

  • Dawn

    A very disappointing read: mediocre stories and bad editing. I really dislike editors/publishers using their books as a platform to promote their own writing.

  • Barrita

    Encontré éstas colecciones en mis recomendaciones de Amaz*n y me llamaron la atención. Tiene un toque interesante y parecen emular justamente los blue books.

    Quizá el tema de venganza no fue la mejor elección para mí, ya que me aburrieron un poco.

    Estás colecciones cuestan como $12 así que quizá descargue otra para ver si me llama más. Son lecturas rápidas y sencillas que funcionan bien para la temporada.

    A slim collection of horror short stories of varying quality.
    The first story won me over with a realistic depiction of twins, and a story about a strange victorian funerary statue haunted me.
    The last story in the collection I found laughably bad, though. Alas coming last makes it taint much of my impression.
    Overall I’m glad I read the collection. It made me think more about what makes a story scary.
