Ballet of the Bones edition by David Haynes Literature Fiction eBooks

Rated 4.5.
This collection continues the sinister deeds of William Fettiplace with four cleverly linked short stories.

Ballet of the bones - The Gallery of Wax is after a new and exciting display to pique the interest of a jaded public. William Fettiplace has just the display but will the owner regret taking him up on his offer. Good start to the collection.

The Bone House - A man reflects on his life amidst the Cholera outbreak in London and his subsequent rise in society. Loved the ending of this story, one that will stay with me for a while.

The Engineer - A master craftsman is given a macabre project. Liked the way this story tied in with the first two stories. The back story regarding his skills was entertaining but wasn't very relevant to the ending. Great story.

Encore - William Fettiplace and his sister arrive at the Waxworks for the final display. Loved the ending, it finished off the collection really well.

Fantastic short story collection, the gothic style is very authentic and I'm looking forward to the next collection to continue the shenanigans of the Fettiplace family.

Ballet of the Bones edition by David Haynes Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

'Ballet of the Bones' is another delightfully creepy quartet from the mind of Mr Haynes. The author is clearly at ease when writing this genre and I sincerely hope there are more collections of these spooky shorts to follow.

As with the author's previous book, 'Mask of the Macabre', each story is linked to the others and I really enjoyed trying to guess and identify the connections. The book is like a jigsaw, and by the time the stories have been read, you have slotted together all the pieces. Despite this, each story still works as a stand-alone piece. It is a clever device and, combined with the wonderfully evocative atmosphere created amongst the pages, this is another winning set of short stories.
After reading the previous collection 'The Mask of the Macabre' (if you haven't read that yet - you should) I picked this up immediately hoping for more of the same and I wasn't disappointed. While it follows on loosely from 'Mask of the Macabre', you don't need to have read that to read 'Ballet of the Bones', but as I've already said, if you haven't you should.

'Ballet of the Bones' follows the same format of four short stories that weave in and out of each other. My favourite was the story about the grave digger, but they were all good. The setting is Victorian London and the writing matches that of the period.

This is traditional horror at its finest, a must read for horror fans.
Welcome to the Ballet of the Bones. Will you appreciate the hideous displays in The Gallery of Wax? If so, you will be ushered into The Bone House, to experience first hand the bare bones of the gravedigger's existence. You will then meet The Engineer, who will astound you with his baroque, intricate creations, operating with the strange grace of precision; yet somehow quite wrong. And finally, with an impending sense of doom, the Director will prepare you for the final curtain. Good luck!
This is the follow-up to Mask of the Macabre by David Haynes, and is a similarly atmospheric and intriguing collection. The stories are all related, but work just as well as stand-alone tales. Chillingly entertaining!
Don't miss Seance of the Souls too, the novella which follows on from these collections.
If like me, you have always enjoyed those chilling 19th-century horror stories, you are sure to enjoy this collection. I really felt this could have been written by Poe circa 1830! The atmosphere, setting, and language were reminiscent of that great period in literature.

I wholeheartedly recommend this collection of short stories to all horror fans who may need a refresher on just how great the traditional horror stories of that bygone era were!
Rather interesting series of related stories. The result is somewhat uneven but, overall, it was quite enjoyable and rather clever.
Ballet of the Bones kind of follows on from Mask of the Macabre in that it is set in the same time and is another quartet of creepy stories, although these can be read on their own.

As with the first book, the stories have links to each other and are just deliciously macabre. I especially liked The Bone House, but they are all of top quality. Again, you can just feel the atmosphere of the times in the author's writing.
Another great quartet of sprintingling horror from this fine author. This may even surpass his Mask of the Macabre. I haven't decided yet. But you can't go wrong with either collection. This guy has a definite grasp of the grotesque. I mean ..."sleeping amongst the miasma of a hundred rotting corpses." C'mon, that's so decadent that it's brilliant.A phrase worthy of Clark Ashton Smith.
