Reviews for The Last Séance
55 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Quite a spooky little short story for Halloween, about a medium scared of her powers who is exploited by a customer desperate to make contact with a deceased daughter. Only why is this included in a mammoth collection of Miss Marple short stories when she is not in it?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Agatha Christie is, for good reason, known as the Queen of Crime. However, it is less well known that she was interested in the paranormal. The Last Seance gathers together several of her paranormal tales guaranteed to give shivers to any reader. Like in any collection, I liked some stories better than others. One of my favourites is the titular tale in which a seance goes horribly wrong. But perhaps my favourite tale is The Dressmaker’s Doll. I mean, dolls are creepy on their own but Christie takes it to a whole ‘nother level of nightmare. Overall, a great collection, perfect for Halloween but I wouldn’t recommend reading it alone especially in the dark.Thanks to Edelweiss+ and the publishers for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5What is supposed to be a collection of Christie’s “tales of the supernatural” disappointingly turns out to be not what it promises. Despite a couple of outstanding creepy stories very few have any supernatural element, and too many feel like snippets of story ideas dusted off and given a quick ending for delivery to some magazine or other. I didn’t feel that Christie really cared for, or was invested in, any of the tales she’s telling here.
