I only have Black Dog left to read, and I'm saving that for after I finish reading American Gods.

In general, I thought this collection started off OK, then got much better starting with The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains. From that point through the Doctor Who story everything was pretty good. Then the quality dropped way off and the last few stories and poems preceding Black Dog have been somewhere between awful and regrettable. I'll probably give the collection 3 stars for being occasionally entertaining.
