This is a solid collection of tales that helped me become more well read in the "Weird Fiction" tradition. There were a couple stories I could not immerse myself in that I ended up skipping, at least one other story that I read through which was a bit of a slog, but all other stories were a real treat. My favorite writers included in this collection are Machen and Blackwood, along with Bierce. I am looking forward to reading more of them.
