Whilst I do like the occasional short story, I am not one for anthologies, I much prefer a good meaty novel that I can sink my teeth into. So, this little selection of four short stories was a pleasant surprise, as it transpires that each story is connected, so it felt more as if I were reading a full length book.The stories are all set in Victorian London and the author has done a fantastic job setting the scene, you can almost touch the fog! The writing and dialogue are all fitting for the times the stories are set in, all of which put me in mind of the early Hammer Horror films; I half expected Peter Cushing or Vincent Price to appear in a cameo. If you like traditional macabre horror stories rather than zombies or chainsaw massacres, then these stories should appeal. Highly recommended.NB: I received a free copy of the book from the author in return for an honest review but do not stand to make any further gain, monetary or otherwise, from the sale of this book.
