Critics Review
The best edition of Stevenson’s supernatural fiction so far. The texts are very well edited, the notes are significant and unobtrusive for the average reader, and the appendices provide the perfect complementation for Stevenson’s narratives of the uncanny. Roger Luckhurst’s introduction is fascinating. A must. * Dr. Antonio Ballesteros-González, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha *
