Hard to rate as I enjoyed some stories more than others, hoped it would be a little more ‘strange’ but the writing was, unsurprisingly, good.

Am not quite sure what to say, the world where this story takes part is totally unknown for me so I can't judge.

'The Parasite' felt like the longest novel I've ever read. It took me three days to read 50 pages. It never seemed to end! I suffered more psychological trauma reading it than the guy in the story had to suffer!

 The rest of the stories were mainly enjoyable if a little bit silly. I can see why Conan Doyle is more known for Sherlock Holmes than his tales of the supernatural.
