Brilliant ... Entertaining ... Wonderful, over-the-top atmosphere. -- starred review Library Journal on DRACULA'S GUEST Barzun considered the ghost story 'more artful -- and more productive of shivers -- than the straight tale of horror,' an assertion that is abundantly substantiated by Michael Sims's delightful anthology of Victorian ghost stories. Washington Post Book World on THE PHANTOM COACH Just in time for All Hallow's Eve, Sims has released The Phantom Coach, a collection of classic Victorian ghost stories published by Bloomsbury in a softcover edition. The book includes creepy tales from Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and Ambrose Bierce, among others. Christian Science Monitor on THE PHANTOM COACH
