 A bit disappointing September 4, 2006
P. Burt (Bristol, UK)
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I love collections of ghost stories, which is primarily why I bought this - and although several stories in this small book are worth a look(particularly the one about the ghost ship),on the whole I personally found it a bit thin on good, quality ghost stories and thought it was padded out with other "mystery" stories rather than real spine chillers. Much of this anthology is a bit tedious and not what I had hoped for. Depends on your expections I suppose but not really my cup of tea - there's better stuff available elsewhere in other anthologies.
 those dark victorians.... May 24, 2004

Right, let's get down to business - these victorians sure know how to scare the wits out of anybody. Fantastic use of words which really put images of murder, blood and a pile of corpses into your mind. These stories should be read, with a single light on (a candle for example), the rest of the house shut tight with no lights on and all windows open. Kids love these type of things to as I found out when read these out to my class!
A must for those old fashioned short horror story fanatics! January 1, 2004

When i bought this book, i could not put it down. Each short story is written by someone different; each with their own style and sudden, heart stopping end!
It reminds me very much of a similar book i had when i was a child, of which i have still got and regularly go back to read, again and again. My old book was published by StMichael! (M&S) Those were the days. So you can imagine my delight and suprise when i came across this "A Bottomless Grave" and Other Victorian Tales of Terror!" It bought back all my happy child like thoughts and familiar expereinces of reading these 'scary' ghost stories for the very first time, LATE AT NIGHT UNDER THE BED COVERS and EVERY NOISE AROUND YOU MADE YOU JUMP OUT OF YOUR SKIN! During my tender fragile years:a time when I first discovered the joys of reading a 'whole' story, where what you read stays with you for the rest of your life. A time when reading interesting (and slightly strange and eerie) stories lays down the foundations that will eventually mould your preferred reading style. I have since always preferred HORROR!
Read it and be astounded. It may be old fashioned to some, but that is part of it's charm. It goes back to the days when horror stories were horrific and QUITE RIGHTLY SO!
