Purchased a bunch of these Wordsworth classics books at once, about five, and they all came together within two days or so, possibly even the day after I ordered them. All were good quality, had not been damaged, felt very smooth and nice in the hands. Really enjoyed this book, especially Nightmare Abbey; a great satirical take on the genre. As a big fan of the Gothic genre, I was not disappointed by this collection of three short stories. The Castle of Otranto is widely regarded as one of the first pioneers of this particular area; the romance and the Gothic and I thoroughly loved it. Vathek was also good, but I preferred the other two, personally. The layout of the three separate novellas means you can pick and choose the order in which you read them, allowing for personal preference to come through.
Though not included in this collection, I recommend looking into J. Sheridan Le Fanu's stories, some of which are included in his book In A Glass Darkly, a selection of tales of the ghostly and supernatural (Carmilla is one such thriller).Uncle Silas is also well-renowned amongst literary figures and film directors, many of whom cite his tales as inspirations for their works.
These books are definitely great value for money; you can't go wrong with £2/£3 per book!
