5.0 out of 5 stars What's your nightmare?, December 19, 2007

By	Dorothy Reade - See all my reviews

Is it a mosquito or a vampire? Could this really be your child, or did an evil being switch your perfect baby for this one? Could Robert Lewis Stevenson's Mr. Hyde still be at large in Edinburgh?
This new collection of contemporary gothic tales from around the world includes authors who peek behind our facades as they push into a jungle tingling with drums, or pass through a cleft in a wall, or collect sea shells in a world where "Everything . . . is alive." And would your prose improve if you spent a night dreaming on Lovecraft's pillow?
The engrossing collection catches that uncomfortable feeling that something is just out side our line of sight. What is behind that hill, or is it a burial mound?
With an insightful introduction from Professor Olson, these works made me forget my bedtime reading - and leave the light on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary Tales for those strong of Spirit, August 11, 2008

By	S. Dailey (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After starting to read Exotic Gothic at night, I found that I had to put it down because my imagination was getting the better of me. Exotic Gothic was interesting, exciting and scary!! I finished it by only reading it during the day!! What great fun and I'm looking forward to the sequel Exotic Gothic 2.
