"Most of the stories are non-supernatural contes cruels; the surreal color plates in the UK edition add interest to the quirky tales." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror (1999) 4-42. "Among the annals of weird fiction one of the most sought after volumes ..." - Ashley, Who's Who in Horror and Fantasy Fiction. Barron (ed), Horror Literature 3-55.
