Lee does an excellent job, and the stories are delightfully gothic! She does make you work for your entertainment however.

I think one of the things that has held me back has been the length. It does sound like it's a very interesting book, and like one that would really keep me enthralled. I also like the mystery surrounding the Mud Man story. I might have to dig this one out and get into it soon.
