dark mysterious tense medium-paced

I don’t often read short story collections and find it difficult to rate them. But I really enjoyed the majority of these dark, uncanny retellings of lesser known tales. Some are in conversation with folk horror, others seem to meander more. But each one had something unsettling, darkness or just the sense of something being ‘not quite right’.
