Thanks @svenlind. I've just downloaded the ebook as well. Even though I've read most of them its great to have them in one place. As a kid I loved Dracula. Scary but pleasantly so. I also liked the Fall of the House of Usher. And not included, though the author is represented, is Carmilla.
As a Child I would have hated being told what to read and what not to, and likely would have gone out of my way to read anything forbidden. I find the position of this man ludicrous and hypocritical. My view is that whilst those few children who absolutely love reading will do so widely in any event, nothing is more sure to kill the reading bug in those children not so inclined than a force fed diet of classics and poetry.
