Interesting; mostly enjoyable; a few too many ghost stories, perhaps. And some very annoying proof-reading errors - I expect more from Penguin.

This is a fantastic anthology of weird fiction written by women from 1806-1936. It was really interesting to stumble across authors whose classic fiction I was already familiar with (such as George Eliot, E. Nesbit, Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Gaskell and Virginia Woolf), and most of the stories were well-written and entertaining. I especially loved 'The Mortal Immortal' by Mary Shelley and 'The Abbot's Ghost' by Louisa May Alcott, and 'The Secret Chamber' by Margaret Oliphant terrified me!
