Book Review: Some good some bad
Summary: 3 Stars

"The House on the Tarn" sets the mood nicely and has things going nicely up until the end-- and you feel jilted by the unsatisfying ending. Aickman-ish.

The two best stories are the riveting "The Gossips" which is probably one of the top 30 horror short stories I have ever read. It is about ghastly statues and the horror the befalls the scholars that venture about it. A rather weak plot, but it is brilliantly told.

"The Grey House" has an even weaker plot that borders on collapse with its characters that act ridiculously foolish; nevertheless it is well told.

Overall, the striking horror elements of this book are good, but you don't need to read it unless you have an abundance of time on your hands.
