deliciously thrilling short ghost stories, full of psychological tingles.

Purchased this along with The King In Yellow as I enjoy HP Lovecraft.
I only give this 3 stars due to barely beating the stories of Robert Chambers.
I feel like the short stories were not finished. By the time I was getting invested with said characters, someone would be strangled in a different setting and in a different place. “Under the pale moonlight”
I don’t understand why Lovecraft was influenced by this author. Perhaps, this was all he had to work with.
At least this collection verses Robert Chamber held some sort of consistency to the type of stories presented.
Would not buy. These stories can be found for free online and in any order you choose.
For fans of nerdy mythos shit. I have found myself not attached to this sort of stuff anymore.
