Great review, although I actually have mixed feelings about this collection. I'm a big Gaskell fan, but this set is uniformly grim and pretty depressing overall. I couldn't read all the stories at once, but had to put the book aside a few times before I continued with it. I liked The Grey Woman and The Old Nurse's Story the best. .-= JaneGS´s last blog ..Listening to Vanity Fair =-.

I’m with Jen sounds perfect for next October! I haven’t read any Gaskell short stories, but I’ll definitely keep these in mind for when I’m in a creepy mood…

I can't believe I've never read any Gaskell given that I love the classics. I'll have to pick some up and give her a try. .-= Lisa´s last blog ..Gilmore Girls Reading Challenge =-.

I’ve been reading more short stories lately and I think I would enjoy these. I just read about this book on another blog recently and it was the first I had ever heard of Gaskell!

I would recommend starting with Rebecca or even The House of Moreys. Don’t know if this is the right start You have to work more with these. Darling Jim and Conscience Point are some modern books with a Gothic feel.
