I've finished and thought the last few tales were a good addition. I think my favourite story of the book was probably The Lady's Walk. I like how it veered into territory the other stories didn't and dealt with protagonists who didn't properly heed warnings, and even of the doubtful efficacy of protective ghosts and the turmoil that can cause not only to the living but to the spectre as well. Call me a curmudgeon, but I thought this was a perfect story to end on a sad note without an eleventh hour save; it would have fit the melancholy tone of the story better I think. It would have kept with the pathos of the entire situation.
