I didn't like this book at all. Im not much for short stories to begin with but these stories were just dumb. The first story, The Willows, i didn't finish. After describing a river for 20 minutes I was just bored and done with it. The Vertical Ladder and The Dancing Doll were pointless and had nothing to do with the supernatural. Neither did The Madwoman in my opinion although The Dancing Dolls ending was vaguely interesting. The fourth story, Sir Dominics Bargain was eh, dull, and The Cocoon was just weird. The final story, The Fly, was the only interesting and decent story in this whole book.
