Abstract
These unnatural stories have the worst possible effects on your minds. The imagination that can produce such things must be extremely gross and bar-barous; they mark the Gothicism of the rudest ages, and not only divert your study and aĴention from real life but embarrass your affections with fictions and ideas not only of no use, but seriously pernicious, as they inflame the passions and tincture both the fancy and the heart with extravagance and romance. Tell Tale, The Lady’s Monthly Museum (392)
