It starts with Edgar Allan Poe's Masque of the Red Death which was written in 1842, and does read well, although the ambiance is (necessarily) old fashioned. I find that fantasy stories written in different eras have a different feel from those written at other times (I can't really divide it up by decades, but I find that over time, the writing styles and plot styles change).
C.L. Moore's Black God's Kiss, however, envisioned otherworldly realms as well, or better, than current writings.
Some stories, because, I suppose, they are short stories, had tragic endings when I was hoping that things could end happily (so they definitely engaged me), although Michael Moorcock's Kings in Darkness had an uncharacteristically cheerful ending (not that I'm complaining!) - though I haven't read Elric in a while, so I could be wrong.
The first couple of times I read it, I found Ursula K. Le Guin's contribution somewhat harrowing; but then I reconsidered it as a commentary on modern society, and I hope that I am strong enough to be one of The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.
Generally, it's a good mix of stories, with (as you'd expect) some very strong ones that will stay with me for a while, some that were nice to read and some that didn't grab me. ( )
