Very pleasantly surprised! I went in cold with low expectations and found these stories fascinating and enthralling. I would argue that more than half of them have queer subtexts too which was a nice surprise. These reminded me of “readable” stories in the vein of HG Wells and Poe, who unfortunately have a tendency to put me to sleep.

My favorites are 
“The school friend” and “bind your hair” with my lease favorite being “choose your weapons.”
