Critical reception
Critics have noted Splendors and Glooms to be an "intriguing and imaginative tale"[2] and a "not-to be-missed gothic thriller".[3] "The language is rich and lively, and Schlitz, exhibiting the delicate control of a puppeteer of words, even pulls off comic cockney."[4] "The plot is rich with supernatural and incredibly suspenseful elements. Fans of mystery, magic, and historical fiction will all relish this novel."[5]
