Some of them are very good, Pigeons From Hell for instance is brilliant. He was a fantastic writer.
The Del Rey edition contains a more eclectic mixture of stories than the l cheaper Wordsworth one, and the illustrations are superb, really adding to the stories. I'll tell you more when I've read more but if you like Howard's writing then as an edition this is a no brainer. The texts in this edition have also been meticulously researched to be as faithful to the original manuscripts as possible if thats something that matters to you. Incidentally the cheaper one can be picked up for three quid if you want to read the stories without investing too much.
