Kate Mosse is also a master of the short form ... Her ability to blur the lines between eras is so fluid its testament to her writing ... the ancient and modern ghostly tales of Mosse's anthology left us fearful, but fulfilled

I wouldn't say an extreme reaction but most of the stories evoked emotions within me.

Any additional comments?

I loved the author's belief in the importance of history as told through the lives of everyday people, rather than solely political or royal figures.
