The first four stories were some of the best surreal horror I've ever read. The linking of The Yellow King play to each of the stories is done really well and they were such a fun - this weird world where the tendrils of the play pierce most parts of life, just fantastic.

Then the 'and other horror stories' felt out of place (even though there were more of them than Yellow king stories). Some of them were spooky but they were tame in comparison to the first four.
