| | 2. |  | The Meaning of Night: A Confession
from W. W. Norton
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
If rating on the author's eloquence and choice of words alone, I would rate this book with five stars. However, beyond the eloquence and beauty of the words, my hopes for a story with a great plot or the promised surprises were lost. This is an extremely slow-moving story written by someone with a... more info

| | 3. |  | Hard Times (Victorian Collection)
from Assembled Stories
Price: $40.11
Customer Review:
Charles Dickens was a great writer. A simple statement, easily and often made, but its correctness is confirmed and enlarged with each story that I read.

from Dover Publications
Price: $5.00
Customer Review:

| | 8. |  | The Oxford Book of Victorian Ghost Stories
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $15.99
Customer Review:
This is an exceptional anthology of Victorian ghost stories; all are short stories which are easily read in a brief sitting. The book serves as a remarkable spyglass into another era, one wholly foreign to our own. I enjoy each creepy tale and find the mix of authors to be effectively selected and... more info
