This is actually two novellas. The second one, "The Conjugal Angel," was a ghost story and I wasn't really into it. It's based on Tennyson's In Memoriam, which I haven't read (unless it was in American Lit, which I'm trying to repress). So, if you're into that poem and/or ghost stories, check it out. For me it was kind of meh.
The first one, though, "Morpho Eugenia," I liked a lot. It's victorian and gothic, so there are all these vaguely tubercular beauties and a vague creepy "The Fall of the House of Usher" vibe. Also, insects, natural selection, and anagrams. These are a few of my favorite things.
