To-Day: "An entrancing book, but people with weak nerves had better not read it at night."
The World: "Mr. Marsh has been Inspired by an entirely original idea, and has worked it out with great ingenuity. We like the weird, but not repulsive story better than anything he has ever done."
Sketch: "Opens with a singularly dramatic and exciting situation, and the interest thus at once aroused is sustained steadily to the close."
Star: "A thrilling ghost story. The writing is vigorous and dramatic."
Weekly Times and Echo: "A capital story. ALL sorts of readers will enjoy Tom Ossington's Ghost."
Manchester Guardian: "A ghost to be a success must be able to leave an impression of indefinable terror in those whom it haunts. It should, in a word, 'give them the creeps,' and bad ones. Tom Ossington was completely successful in this."
