A collection of short stories and some poetry. I liked the Solomon Kane, but the others failed to convey any sort of horror, which is already a genre I'm not fond of. Some stories almost feel like Lovecraft. The poems I didn't care for at all.

I find it hard to care for very short stories, unless they have something really brilliant to convey, what's the point? One of the more lengthy stories about a Werewolf was almost entertaining, but just not worth the effort to keep reading the other ones.
