I own this book, though I don't think I've read it since I took it on road trip around 2000. I've found it an interesting comparison piece with The Best of Margaret St. Clair. The latter author was really a straight up dark fantasy/ horror writer. Clingerman comes across as someone who didn't go far enough to pick a lane. From my recollections, the most entertaining story is Stickeney And The English Critic, which seems to be a parody of Lovecraft before his footprint got supersized. The rest are mostly entertaining if they're on the sf/ fantasy side, like Mr.Sakrison's Halt, or cringy if they're in the horror direction, like Wild Wood. It's worth a look if you can get it.

It's wildly out of print but at least print runs were huge back
then so copies have survived. However, all the contents of this
collection and more can be found in the far more recent The
Clingerman Files.
