Customer Reviews
“A good horror has its place in art.” – Hardy
Hardy was notoriously sensitive to bad reviews and the critics of his day slaughtered A Group of Noble Dames as sensationalist, obnoxious and horrific. I would call them thought provoking and highly entertaining.
This version is superbly read by a narrator who is perfect for a set of historical tales told by the members of a Victorian gentlemen’s club to while away the time.
