Book Reviews of The String of Pearls (Wordsworth Mystery & Supernatural) (Wordsworth Mystery & Supernatural)
Book Review: A Lost Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
At last someone has brought out a new edition of The String of Pearls! Everybody knows who Sweeney Todd was, but up to now the book itself has been something that even people like me, with a University library at my disposal, could only read about. Now everyone can read it. And what a read! Even though (OF COURSE) I knew the end of the story from long ago, I was on the edge of my seat for most of the book. And there are some genuine (if rather cruel) laughs in it. If Matthew Lewis had been a Dickens fan, or if Ann Radcliffe had had a sense of fun, they would have written this. It is a first-rate horror story and -- like the excellent introduction says -- of first rate importance in the history of horror. No-one should give this book a miss. It's delicious!
