"The Town of Cats" - Just OK. Honestly, I liked the first part about the narrator's walking habits more than the part with all the "Weird" stuff.
"The Tarn" - The ending was very unsettling, and Fenwick's absolute disdain for Foster is kinda funny, but overall this was just another OK story for me.

"Sandkings" - Really good! More creepy and horrifying Sci-fi than genuinely Weird, but I still really liked it.

"The Beak Doctor" - DNF. Was intrigued by the atmosphere at first, but the prose lost me quickly. I'll sound like a philistine saying this, but it seemed more and more like an exercise in style. Which isn't inherently a problem, but it wasn't a style I was interested in.

"It Only Comes Out at Night" - Good, I liked it. Liked how little details were slowly put together and what seemed insignificant at first became sinister.

"The Hospice" - Really fucking good. A subtler Weirdness, but that makes it all the more unsettling and uncomfortable.

"Don't Look Now" - Great novella. I really liked the film when I first saw it (I realize now what a fantastic adaptation it was) and I really like the original story.

"The Sea Was As Wet As Wet Could Be" - Really liked this one. Very strange and unnerving. Makes me want to read Through the Looking Glass.

"The Ghoulbird" - Really liked this one. Simple enough story, but I love urban legend/ominous creature stuff.

"The Other Side of the Mountain" - Wow. Simply incredible. Terrifying from beginning to end, and utterly, singularly, *Weird*.
