These stories were really interesting. I've never played Arkham Horror but I found it easy enough to get invested in the worldbuilding and stories. I was impressed with how consistent the tone was across all of the short stories, and I didn't feel like any of them were particularly poor - a rare success with anthologies in my opinion. These have totally piqued my interest in the Arkham Horror world, and I'll be suggesting it to my gaming group.

The tone felt appropriate for the time period they were set in, with the language feeling accurate while still being easy to read. They were a lot of fun. It did feel a little repetitive at times, where words were repeated a lot, especially 20's slang. While I guess that's to be expected with a limited selection of slang available, it was noticeable when reading.
