"Klinger (The New Annotated Dracula) mixes well-known and obscure authors in this solid anthology of 20 short tales of terror. A good introduction to dark fiction of an earlier age."
Publishers Weekly
"What makes this volume distinctive are Klinger’s annotations and footnotes. He enlightens by explaining artistic and historical references of the period, archaic words and expressions are given ... Read moreperspective and defined. Klinger metaphorically shakes the dust off the muslin, making antiquated writing styles more accessible to the modern reader."
Diabolique Magazine
"A fascinating and largely unpredictable assortment of stories drawn—­as the book's title indicates—from decades following the peak of Poe's working life."
