The Advent Visitor - felt very incomplete, and it was so poorly punctuated that some lines were hard to make sense of. There was also a glaring error on the penultimate page. I re-read things a few times to check, but it's definitely just been written wrong.

Revenant as Typewriter - amazing. I'm going to assume 'type' is used as a pun.

What Shadows We Pursue - pointless. What even happened? It doesn't even end as much as skid to a sudden halt. I turned the page, expecting it to carry on, but nope. The worst story in the book.

W.S. - Brilliant. I figured it all out very early, probably because I've seen the concept done by others, like Stephen King, and even written stories like it myself. But it's wonderfully executed, with its own spin that doubles as a commentary on how we write and build characters.

Herodes Redivivus - deeply unsettling, excellent point at the end

Midnight Express - Surreal. Probably more exciting when it was first published.

The Library - FANTASTIC. Definitely metaphoric, a commentary on young women being swallowed up by traditions, refusing to let them move forward with the times

Fingers of a Hand - it was okay, but it didn't quite fit the collection
Mr Tallent's Ghost - hilarious

The Tractate Middoth - boring, painful to get through (someone should have told the man how paragraph breaks work), with no real payoff in the end.
The Whisperers - an interesting idea. Not perfect, but I can imagine thinking of this on occasion well into the future.

The Devil's Manuscript - an interesting little Faustian tale, briefly highlighting the power and responsibility publishers have when they decide to put something out in the world and influence public thinking. Could have been developed much more.
