Title: A nice collection, but missing something...
Product review: You cannot fault the stories selected here: we get a variety of them, all generally classics. I just can't help it, though... this book is missing some kind of spark. Basically the introduction is nice, but not deeply informative. The stories themselves are neither introduced or postscripted. While, as I say, you cannot fault the selection, the selections are all too safe for my taste. Lovecraft, Dunsany, Howard, Pratchet. Okay, safe ground.But there should have been some more risk taken here I think. James Branch Cabell instead of Dunsany, perhaps. Or Moorcock or LeGuin or Tanith Lee for Pete's sake. But the stories are all good and a good introduction (if you need it) or good sampling if not.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
