I recommend the first stories and the poem, but the Street stories did nothing for me. Which is a bummer because the horror stories and the time travel fantasy were pretty great.

Actually quite enjoyed the last few short stories, but not as much as the preceding ones.

It was an okay adaptation. It covered the main plot points, the madness was present, quite clear. The storytelling was lacking, unfortunately. I find it was kind of difficult to follow the exact plot, even when keeping in mind the characters are mad and are not meant to totally make sense. I enjoyed the setting, but not the story: it felt a bit rushed and unfinished.

Started off strong, but there was really less world building across the stories than I was generally led to believe. Definitely some problematic content, as well, especially towards the end. Wouldn't recommend.

This should really be two books. The first 5 stories of cosmic horror are excellent, like if H.P. Lovecraft could write well. The last 5 are romantic short stories about students in Paris and I couldn’t get myself to finish them.
