That's largely how I felt about The Old Knowledge, Rosalie Parker's collection that was, IIRC, supposed to be published by Ex Occidente, then was released by Swan River Press, and is now available as a Tartarus eBook: I didn't dislike it, and I quite liked a couple of the pieces, but I found it quite forgettable. Maybe Showers' taste in eerie lit runs slightly different to yours or mine?
