I thought this was a solid classic spooky story collection. I liked "The Willows" the best - it was almost lovecraftian with it's atmosphere and the creeping madness. The whole natural/supernatural horror was really well done.
I also liked The Empty House as just a quintessential haunted house story. It wasn't as creepy as The Willows, but very atmospheric as well.
Overall a lovely book to settle into with a mug and a blanket in the fall!
