Slightly boring. I expected something more thrilling and shocking by reading the summary. And especially the first and main story was underwhelming.

It was insufferably dry, and yet I still felt compelled to finish the whole thing.

Three short stories, each focusing on things such as; obsession, fear, hallucinations, deep contempt, delusions, and bliss.

I read it all in one sitting and am completely in awe! I LOVED the stories. A Nervous Breakdown and The Black Monk swept me off my feet. Anna Round The Neck was less enchanting, but nevertheless very good as well. 10/10 would recommend. I am definitely going to read more of Chekhov's short stories!
