Reviews

"As the book is laid aside, the last sentence revives the shivering that has gone before, and the reader attempts to dive in bed before the light goes out, and fears a hideous something between the sheets. Perhaps the collection is better read in morsels, especially for the more imaginative or timid reader."-- - The Pantagraph, 1929
