Black Gate Tales

There are a variety of good ideas here; however, most of the stories zip by so fast that I didn't really feel attached to anything happening. On the flip side, I suppose they never stuck around too long to offend, either. I didn't find any story to be terrible, but only a few interested me in the end.

In my opinion, Mrs Pendleton's Corpse, The Undertow, The King of Gorse, and Snick were the standouts and my favorites. They showcased the humor, weirdness, and horror that you want from this kind of collection.

As a whole, it's a decent and quick read that will have at least a few stories you find enjoyable, if not more, due to differing tastes.

A great offering of short tales that are easily readable in one sitting.
