This was, I regret to say, a disappointment. There are some really fine stories in here, but far too little variety. There is apparently a stock homage-to-The-King-in-Yellow story, in which the protagonist is sucked into too-often-repeated motifs of reality breakdown and dropped off into ambiguous doom. Characters seldom have any agency, and are seldom well enough drawn for their lack of agency to feel engaging. Nothing in here is genuinely bad, it's just very same-y; recommended only if you want some altogether undemanding cosmic horror fix.
