really liked it
bookshelves: 19th-century-fiction, gothic, library2013, spooky

I did wonder why the publishers decided to publish two such short short story collections instead of combing them into one reasonable sized books. I must say I prefered the stories in the Pilgrims, if only for having more women characters. I enjoyed the first two stories which were nice melancohly gothic tales but not so much the third which was more of a standard historical story. The first story as about a man who swapped bodies with a hideous dward, the second about a man who had unwittingly drunk a potion of immortality thinking it would free him from his obsession with love when it just made him sadder. I do really like Mary Shelly's writing and am glad I have a few more things to read by her.
