Well. This was one of the silliest story collections I've read 😂 I don't necessarily mean it in a bad way, though, because at no point was I annoyed enough to bail. Despite these stories being very light on mystery & padded out with romantic fluff, they were strangely quite fun on the whole. Not something I'd want to read again, though. The first two stories: the title story & Philomel Cottage, were both Gothic sensationalist fun & the standouts.
