"Rudyard Kipling's Tales of Horror and Fantasy" edited by Stephen Jones

I bought this thick book because I like horror and fantasy, and because there was an introduction by Neil Gaiman. I must admit that I am unable to finish it, and will pass it on to Kanak in case she can make something of it. The stories are 99% about the English soldiers colonizing India, and the jargon as well as Indian terms make the stories very "mushy" to me. Very few are true horror/fantasy and they describe a life which is "Greek" to me. Even the story "The Man Who Would be King", which has a movie based on it, was foggy to me.
