Rated 4.5.This collection continues the sinister deeds of William Fettiplace with four cleverly linked short stories.Ballet of the bones - The Gallery of Wax is after a new and exciting display to pique the interest of a jaded public. William Fettiplace has just the display but will the owner regret taking him up on his offer. Good start to the collection.The Bone House - A man reflects on his life amidst the Cholera outbreak in London and his subsequent rise in society. Loved the ending of this story, one that will stay with me for a while.The Engineer - A master craftsman is given a macabre project. Liked the way this story tied in with the first two stories. The back story regarding his skills was entertaining but wasn't very relevant to the ending. Great story.Encore - William Fettiplace and his sister arrive at the Waxworks for the final display. Loved the ending, it finished off the collection really well.Fantastic short story collection, the gothic style is very authentic and I'm looking forward to the next collection to continue the shenanigans of the Fettiplace family.
