I would have liked to give this 3 and a half, but there is no allowance for that. I would not go to four for one reason. The first chapter. This was a very enjoyable story set between 1814 to 1815. The reader sees a backdrop of historical development ...more |

Finishing the Carmilla Novella I finished the Carmilla novella yesterday — and I must say, it was very good indeed. Once again, I can clearly see how Bram Stoker may have drawn influence from this story when later writing Dracula. Of the two screen ada ...more |

I thoroughly enjoyed Dracula — gothic horror and sci-fi fantasy are very much my cup of tea. If I had one small nit-pick, it would be the ending. Many film adaptations give the Count a more dramatic final showdown. In the novel, the team all seem to ...more |

Polished Off Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in Three Hours (A Splendid Novella) Most of us have seen some version of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde on television. I certainly have, though it was some time ago. From memory, Mr Hyde was presented very ...more |

| There were so many wonderfully sinister gothic stories written back in the day, and The Phantom of the Opera is certainly among the finest of them. As a pure gothic horror, I’m not entirely sure it fits neatly into the category—there are horror eleme ...more | |

Having enjoyed the first Matthew Hawkwood novel, I decided to give the second outing a go—and ended up devouring it in just two days. The plot is fast-paced, dark, and populated by some truly unpleasant characters. Our hero, Matthew Hawkwood, is an ex ...more |

| Another novel I read some time ago—and a Bernard Cornwell story that’s a little different from his usual historical fare. This one is a thoroughly enjoyable modern thriller. The other yachting novel of his is Wildtrack, and I often find myself mixing ...more | |
