I thought this was a decent collection of stories, better than most I pick up. There were a few that I didn't really get, but most of them were quite entertaining.

Some of the stories are absolutely incredible, whereas some others leaned on similar devices to cause the spooky discomfort (not in an altogether creative way, so it felt a bit redundant). 
Worth a read for the handful of great short stories.
