Yes, I read ... Written by Mandy N (1/23/2006 7:07 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, When I first read...., penned by Reeba

... some of Walpole's own friends found TCoO rather frightning and many people had trouble trying to sleep at night.

Yes, perhaps many C18th readers took it too seriously and they weren't used to this genre.

Since this GR began I've been away for several hours sleep.
I dreamt something rather boring, no nightmares !
(admittedly, I hardly, if ever get nightmares)

* If your off to bed soon, happy dreams !
