HAUNTINGS, Fantastic Stories

Spectator — "Most romantic and delightful reading. . . . There is enough imagination in these short stories to furnish any number of present-day novels, and people with strong nerves who enjoy thrills can be unhesitatingly recommended to read the book."

Westminster Gazette.— "Imagination and fantasy are equally dominant in the four stories of Vernon Lee's book, 'Hauntings.'"

Saturday Review — "Seldom have any stories of pure fantasy contained more genuine and excellent qualities than the four ghost-stories of Vernon Lee . . . passages of real beauty, sensitive and glowing descriptions of some Italian scene, breathing the very spirit and essence of what she describes. Her stories are truly mysterious, and grip the imagination in their suggestion of the picturesque and the terrible. But above all they are picturesque, drawn with delicate and brilliant touches, and rich in colour and design."

Manchester Examiner - "Everything Vernon Lee writes bears the stamp of genius."

Manchester Guardian - "Written in a style almost as brilliant as that of any living writer."

Newcastle Chronicle - "Ghost stories, most effectively told."
