I actually just read a collection of his stories. I would suggest borrowing them from the library first to try them out. While some of his stuff was great, a lot of it was really wordy and overdone. It seemed like he often tried to create atmosphere at the expense of plot or character development. Then again, maybe that was his intention all along and I just didnt 'get it'. He also has an in-depth knowledge of the chemistry of his time, which he includes in his writing. For me, that just made some passages very confusing.
