If these stories had been more pulp-cthulhu (or swashbuckle-cthulhu) in nature, with good plots, recurring opponents, and real investigation to precede the rapier-slinging, this would have been one of the best RPG releases ever. Now it's 'merely' very good.
I'd bump this up from very good, to great,
but you do have a valid point,

but all in all I don't think anyone will regret buying this game,
you get more than your money's worth with this,

and this is from someone who is not a fan of the system

Great Book,
