3.0
As with many short story anthologies, some of these stories are really good, and some are really bad. Luckily for this collection, the hits outweighed the misses.
What I will say is that the editor could have funnelled out a few stories that leaned a little too hard on the aspects of the H.P. Lovecraft lore that is not so great (read: Racism and very questionable coding of certain peoples / cultures).
