I enjoyed the first story, but after that I was mostly bored. Halfway through, I set the book down and left it there for months, finally forcing myself to finish the stories just to get the book off my side table.

These are all very old stories, which is fine, but they're not by any stretch stories I'd label as the "world's favorite." While some might have been creepy 150 years ago, they're not creepy now. Many of the stories didn't seem to have a point or didn't really go anywhere at all.

None of these lived up to stories by rivals such as Poe and Lovecraft.
