Confusing!

I'm not really sure what this story was supposed to be about. I guess if you were on LSD, then this story might make some sense,but it was just confusing to me.

Interesting stories, over the top words

Humorous dark stories but the loquacious verbiage portrays pretentious condescension. The tales were decent but the word choices were distracting. Words such as personage, ergo, and respires to name a few, are overused. A correct number of uses would be zero.
The author was trying to sound Lovecraftian, not that that is bad, it just sounded forced in this day and age.
The narrator did a good job making the authors prose flow naturally however, some pronunciations got under my skin. Notably, the word is eSpecially not eXpecially.
