Prince of Darkness

The Critic ( Vol. 4, No. 91, Sept. 1885) said, "The extreme unpleasantness of every page of A Prince of Darkness would prevent one from any very keen enjoyment of even the greatest ingenuity in dovetailing together murder and robbery, mystery and crime. But in point of fact there is no ingenuity in the story; the reader sees through the plot [and] hates every one of the characters."
