The Uncanny Reader: Stories from the Shadows by Marjorie Sandor
3.0
DNF
Overall, I was underwhelmed by this short story collection although I was intrigued by the premise of uncanny stories. Some were decent, but some were so slow I just skipped them.
My favorite was Phantoms by Steven Millhauser. I also liked Berenice by Edgar Allen Poe, The Music of Erich Zann by H.P. Lovecraft, and Haunting Olivia by Karen Russell. But as a whole, I felt pretty meh about this collection.
