My ranking from favourite to least would be:
Monster
Confinement
The Eel Singers
Lily Wilt
The Chillingham Chair
A Study in Black and White
Thwaite's Tennant
The Hanging of the Greens
It made me chuckle how the (living) men in these stories were often the scariest ghouls.
When adding content warnings I realise that the book covers a lot of sensitive ground over the eight stories. I would class the majority of these instances as moderate or minor but do proceed with caution.
Graphic: Addiction, Alcoholism, Confinement, Infidelity, Mental illness, Blood, Medical content, Grief, Medical trauma, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , and Pregnancy
Moderate: Child death, Domestic abuse, Misogyny, Rape, and Murder
