  The Commercial Advertiser, New York, under the title of "A Revel inSpookdom," writes in part as follows: "What is there better for a real,clammy, irresponsible thrill than a volume of ghost stories? You openthe book anywhere and the breath of chilly, graveyard air that comesfrom the pages prepares you at once for the refreshing horrors you areabout to enjoy. At least that was my experience when I opened 'AStable for Nightmares,' by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. The cover is of thehue of cold 'Welsh rabbit,' suggestive of awful indigestion and gauntnightmares that serve to make any ghost stories probable. The talesare of various complexions, but all imbued with the 'pobbiness' ofnew-made corpses that it so useful an element in making effectivepreternatural narratives... Everyone of the eleven stories is asplendid example of weirdness... If you want ghost stories fresh fromthe charnel house, buy this book for 75 cents and you will find it aprofitable investment."
