A Study in Black and White ⭐️⭐️
A solid venture by Collins into the horror short story, albeit a bit lackluster.

Thwaite's Tenant⭐️⭐️
The ending was a pleasant surprise

The Eel Singers 0
Trash. Pulley could at least have tried to come up with a story that doesn't require to know her other novels. Made no sense and I hated every page of it. This is the only story where the hauntings had no impact on the characters and I hated it.

Lily Wilt ⭐️
Bad pacing. Funny idea badly executed. 

The Chillingham Chair⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
By times unintentionally funny, predictable but overall well written.

The Hanging of the Greens ⭐️
Bland, the flashback/ pulling the Protagonist along in visions trope is so annoying and uncreative. 

Confinement ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pretty good pregnancy & post-partum trauma depiction.

Monster 0
stop👏apologizing👏rapists'👏behaviour👏 No kidding. The author seems to have been aware of the protagonist being awful but still tried to find apologies for him. Cringe.

Should’ve read the content warnings before I read this one. I should have dnf’d it. Besides the focus on very real issues, the writing was very dry and uncomfortable. Usually with anthologies like this I can’t generalize the book as a whole but I can with this one. Especially Monster, which was the most difficult to get through. Now I know not to read anything by these authors. I understand some people enjoyed the book but it just wasn’t the horror that I like. I went in expecting a Cabinet of Curiosities type of book but that is not what it was. This is likely going to put me off of the genre for a while.
