Each story focuses on a different character and reflects a different horror genre conceit. Some tales are stronger than others and sometimes the themes therein are explored a bit heavy-handedly, but which story you prefer will largely be due to personal preferences rather than drastic shifts in quality. Lovecraftian horror that kicks the book into high gear.
The book thoroughly and effectively marries race and horror. It is a tense thriller, a terrifying nightmare, a heartbreaking tragedy, and a tale of holding onto aspiration and optimism even while being chased through the woods by a hellbeast from another dimension. The experiences of Atticus and co. There really were travel guides for colored people to help them pass safely through Jim Crow strongholds. Just as the leads shatter the tropes Black people are often reduced to portraying, Braithwhite too undermines his own stereotypes.
He gives reparations as a bargaining chip and welcomes Atticus into his family only to exploit his bloodline. He uses his privilege against Atticus, Montrose, Ruby, and the others just like the rest of the white folks do; he just has the foresight to dress it up in progressive words in hopes to trick them into submission.

Ruff has a history of writing fiction that twists the norm into something new and unsettling. His Cthulhu mythos has defined fantasy horror for nearly a century and inspired countless writers, but he was also an avowed racist who never hesitated to be as offensive as possible when talking about African Americans.

Sound warning is acceptable, but theirs are initially, at least very similar to rider's cries, later on.

The last hope of hoplites that couldn't beat light cavalry at least without dying in the process. The last hope of horsemen that try to catch a naked woman on horse while wearing plate armor, helmet and spear. The last hope of a civilization that set up tents in the middle of the road.
