Title: Tales of Terror and the Supernatural???? Hardly.
Product review: Short stories by English author Wilkie Collins. These were all written in the 1800s. Wilkie wrote two classic novels ("The Moonstone" and "Woman in White") which I enjoyed very much. "Moonstone" is a mystery and "Woman..." is a drama with a few Gothic horror touches thrown in. I was looking forward to this book--but was VERY disappointed it. The stories are all well-written but they're somewhat long-winded and (most importantly) not even remotely scary. Most of the times the purportedly scary incidents are of human origin! In some of these various incidents go completely unexplained or the resolutions don't make one bit of sense! I was more bored and frutrated but was supposed to be a horror book. Boring, long-winded and not even remotely scary. You can skip this one.
