Rambling along without any building of tension, or even any significant scare.

Started this collection of short stories sometime last summer. I’ve read the first three.
The only one that has stuck in my mind was about a fisherman. Whilst out fishing, a water spirit promises riches for him if he joins the spirit in another dimension. He says, “Absolutely! Let me get my pregnant wife first!”
When he leaves the dimension, hundreds of years have passed. You can fill in the rest.

Out of all that I’ve read so far, within the first story, 6 pages are of an actual ‘ghost’ story. Everything else is a separate story to invade them in some kind of boring flowery narrative device. I don’t mind the ‘story within a story’ structure, as long as it’s done right. Doing it in, what I hope is only in, the first ‘short’ story in a short story anthology book is not the way to do it.
