Miloș Dumbraci is on page 601 of 928

Hearn. 2/5. Not terrible, not great. Merrit 4/5. Lovecraftian, suprinsingly good. Machen. 3/5. Well written but terribly dragged on and vague. Good subject though.

Pendarves 3/5 well written (1800s style) but nothing special.
Hg Wells. 1/5. All 4 well written but no story behind all those crafted words. Lame.
Morris: 2/5? How could i rate it, when i can't read it, so archaic is the english used? Gave up after 2 pgs, since i had to reread every paragraph and felt like Shakespeare, with "thee" and "spake" and "ere nigh boun" whatever that might mean...
This is not going well...

So far:
The Robert Howard (Conan) stories: 4/5. Of the 5 stories, 2 were full 5s, 2 were 2s, 1 a 4. Overall, a big surprise for me how well they still hold their value, a century later.
Lovecraft: 5/5. All the 3 stories are truly his best. No surprise here, I am a lovecraftian fan.
Note: the anthology includes an average of 4-5 stories per author (Bramah has 9! I sure hope i'll enjoy his style...)
